The date a financial bonus will be paid to eligible households has been brought forward. The Government of Jersey said the Community Costs Bonus had previously been paid in the autumn, but for the past couple of years had been moved forward to July to "help families as soon as possible with cost of living pressures". It added this policy would be continued in 2026 with eligible households receiving a one-off lump sum of £516.50. Automatic payments would be made to claimants where eligibility had already been confirmed while others could start applying for the bonus from 14 July. The government said rules for eligibility would remain the same as in 2025. These included the applicants only being able to apply if one adult had lived in Jersey for at least five years, their combined tax liability was less than £2,735 in 2025 and the household was not receiving income support. It added the estimated funding of £2.466m was allocated to support this scheme from existing Department for Employment, Social Security and Housing budgets. Follow BBC Jersey on X and Facebook.
