Additional Income Assistance Funding

Notice to Ontario Works Clients
November 15, 2023

Indigenous Service Canada (ISC) has contributed additional funding to our Ontario Works (OW) office to address inflationary increases.

These funds will be issued on December 18^th, 2023 for OW clients that were part of our OW office for the 2023/24 fiscal year. ODSP clients are not eligible for these funds. OW clients will be notified once payments are finalized by next week.

Please note that our office is receiving less funding than the last time funds were distributed, which means payout amounts to OW clients will be lower this time.

RATES:

• Family / sole parent with children / temporary care assistance with 3 or more children: $1,300.00
• Couples with no children / temporary care assistance with 2 children: $1, 000.00
• Single people / temporary care assistance with 1 child: $500.00

Payments will be issued on Monday, December 18^th, 2023 by direct deposit and cheques for those without an account.

Clients that do not have direct deposit can pick up their cheques at 10 am at the Moose Cree office in Moose Factory.

Please contact your worker should you have any questions or concerns.

Thank you.
