The federal government plans to abolish the climate bonus as part of its savings program. This measure is expected to save up to two billion euros in the current year. Nevertheless, the current payout phase continues.
Current Payout Wave for Climate Bonus 2024
In February, the second payout wave for 2024 already started. About 400,000 people received between 75 and 290 euros via bank transfer. From March 12, 2025, another 100,000 people, whose bank details are not available, will receive their payout amount by RSa letter.
Unclaimed Bonuses from Previous Years
A considerable sum of up to 20 million euros is still waiting for its recipients. Particularly interesting: Those who have not claimed their bonus since 2022 can receive up to 1,010 euros cumulatively:
- 2022: 500 Euro (inkl. Teuerungsbonus)
- 2023: 220 Euro
- 2024: 290 Euro
Retroactive Application for Climate Bonus Possible
The possibility of retroactive transfer of the climate bonus exists for up to three years. Affected individuals can contact the Ministry of Climate at klimabonus.gv.at. The payout is made via bank transfer after checking the eligibility requirements.
