Climate bonus in March: up to 290 euros for 106,500 Austrians!

In February 2025, the climate bonus caused great excitement: On February 6, hundreds of thousands of Austrians received up to 290 euros on their accounts, but now it has become silent. However, over 8,600 transfers failed to materialize because the accounts of those affected were closed. Despite this hurdle, you don't have to worry: From March 12th, these people will receive the climate monus in the form of letters, such as 5 minutes . The total amount of the letters sent increases from originally 100,000 to over 106,500.

The letters that contain both vouchers and the amount of money are sent as RSA or RSB letters. In order to avoid additional ways to the post office, the recipients must be present when delivering or filling out a power of attorney. If you do not pick up the letter within three weeks, you risk that the bonus will be sent back to the ministry. Even though almost 89,000 people did not manage to pick up their letter in autumn 2024, it is reassuring to know that if necessary, they still have three years to assert their claims, as the official website of the Klimbonus informs .

The payment of the 2024 climate monus is expected to end until the end of March. Those who had at least 183 days of their main residence in Austria are entitled to claim and were not in custody for more than half a year. Depending on the region, the climate bonus varied between 145 and 290 euros and will continue to be sent by post in the future if account details are missing or are incorrect. So the grant remains secured for everyone who has not yet received any payments.
