Last Chance for Climate Bonus: Who Will Receive It Again

According to the current austerity plans of the FPÖ and ÖVP, the climate bonus is to be a thing of the past from this year onwards. The measure, which is still in coalition negotiations and has not yet been decided, is expected to bring about two billion euros in budget savings by the end of 2025.

Second Payout Wave for the Climate Bonus in February 2025

However, an important payout wave is still pending for the current year. People who have not met the requirements by the cut-off date of 2nd July 2024 will receive their payment from February 2025. This mainly affects people who have moved, newcomers and newborns.

The amount of the payout for adults is between 145 and 290 euros, children receive half. The exact amount depends on the place of residence.

Retroactive Payout Possible

Particularly important: Tens of thousands of people have not yet picked up their climate bonus letters. In total, up to 20 million euros are waiting for their rightful recipients. A retroactive payout is possible up to three years in arrears. Affected parties can report at klimabonus.gv.at to have the money transferred to their account.
