Surplus rebate for businesses
We distributed $2 billion to eligible Schedule 1 businesses in February and March 2025.
To further support Ontario businesses dealing with ongoing economic uncertainty, we’ll be distributing an additional $2 billion to safe, Schedule 1 businesses this spring. These additional rebates will provide some certainty and relief to Ontario businesses when they need it most.
Surplus rebates recognize the important role businesses play in funding our no-fault work-related injury and illness insurance system, while continuing to protect our ability to help people who have experienced a work-related injury or illness with a safe, timely and lasting recovery and return to work today and into the future.
We’ll provide more information on our spring surplus rebate, including eligibility criteria, shortly.
February and March 2025 surplus rebates
Businesses eligible for the February and March 2025 rebate can find their credit amounts in their online services account and in their March statement of account.
A surplus rebate credit can be applied to future premiums. Eligible businesses can simply report insurable earnings as normal and we’ll automatically apply the credit against premiums owed.
Businesses up to date with their premium payment and reporting can ask to receive a cheque for any credits on their account, to invest in health and safety improvements or fund other needed investments. Please don't complete the rebate cheque request form unless a credit has been applied to your account.
