I received this pay, but starting to wonder if all this money should have been allocated to schools. Absolutely no extra funding was given to schools, basically this is going to be left up to the divisions. Tons of schools have horrible ventilation systems, no windows. The so called 48 million that was saved since March will in no way be enough to help schools be cleaned and sanitized.

Schools with no windows? Whatcha talking about Willis?

Riverheights School

isn't Riverheights school the one underground? Doubt that they could have windows!

I didn't even think of that one...has anyone gotten the deposit yet? I don't know anyone that has yet

that I know that applied got theirs on Friday except for one person that did not qualify for some reason

I haven’t gotten mine yet

I received a confirmation email but did not receive a deposit. I hope my banking info was correct  
 
Any one else receive a confirmation email but no deposit on the anticipated deposit date?

Received the confirmation email and payment on Friday morning.

I called 1-888-805-7554 to inquire today, and they advised me it can take until August 7th for a confirmation email to be sent. If I don’t hear by the 7th, I’m supposed to call back.

I got an email Friday as well but no deposit yet. Even though the email said it would be deposited July 31 (Friday)..

I got a confirmation email on Friday with a pay date of Aug 4, but still nothing yet.

I still have not received an email... anyone else in the same boat?

I don't think they were sending out emails to people who were declined.  
 
So if you haven't received anything I'm assuming they determined you did not fit all the criteria for it.

I just spoke with someone on the phone regarding this.. Everyone should who applied should receive an email, even if you were denied. If you do not receive pay or an email by tomorrow, then you are to email MRRP.  
 
Although, the lady helping me on the phone said that all final payments go out tomorrow.

I received email on Friday last week but still haven’t received anything in my bank.. Even though the email specified they sent pay that same day - Friday..  
 
When did you receive your first email from them? Did it say when your payment was sent?

I actually haven’t received an email at all letting me know if I qualified for MRRP or not.

email received Friday  
 
specially said though you had to look at it that payment was August 4th though others could be different.  
 
if denied not sure what happens. or heard what happens.

Just got a second email, but instead of being from "Government of Manitoba" it was from "no-reply" with an email address of "no-reply@mdabmail.gov.mb.ca"  
 
I didn't recognize the mdabmail address, and searching it brought up a bunch of Russian sites. I attached a photo with my address blocked out for privacy.  
 
Anyone else get something like this?

That is the exact email that I just received tonight. If you click on the part that says “click here to create your account and read your message”, it will take you to your approval letter. Good luck!

Yes I got this email as well tonight. Not sure what to think about it as I’ve already received my money and don’t know what else there is for them to do. Seems fishy.

Got that same email as well tonight. Which is weird because we all received the payments last Friday. I’d say it is a scam.

While the email is very convincing, it is 100% a scam. Please don't fall for this. Going to make a new thread about it, to get to the maximum number of people.

I didn’t get anything. Not the end of the world but disappointing that I worked thru covid and got nothing

Anyone else get an email from govt of Manitoba regarding the risk recognition? It says it is encrypted and I have till Sept 6th to open it?

Posts! Lol. It is a scam. Thanks.

Not a scam. Quick google search will tell you that

Are they sending these emails out again?

I am grateful for the cash infusion, but how the recipients received both their paystub AND these follow-up documents was idiotic (from the perspective of someone who has learned to treat email as a zero-trust vector).  
 
It started with the payment deposited email which had the paystub attached as a PDF. Though it made sense that I would get such an email, it was also in a sense unsolicited. Most government stuff involving this kind of thing (T4's and such) is done through the mail (unless you change this manually).  
So whilst it made sense that I would be receiving something like that, the attached PDF also raised a red flag.  
Fun fact: email is the #1 vector that cyber snoops use to get into organizations. If I am sounding a little paranoid, THIS is why.  
 
As though the first email wasn't bad enough, then came the 2ed round of messages that were so terribly distributed that the media had to correct people (me i:ncluded!) from there rightful assumption of these emails involving a scam.  
 
I get that this was likely cheaper than mailing a few thousand T4 slips. But honestly, I think I would rather spend the cash than to start teaching people subconsciously to trust even suspect looking email messages from government authorities.
