Ministry of Community and Social Services to Delay Implementation of Employment Related Benefit

CMHA Ontario announced in their recent newsletter that due to advocacy by the ODSP Action Coalition, a province-wide coalition of community disability agencies, provincial organizations, anti-poverty groups, legal clinics and people with disabilities on ODSP, the government has delayed implementing the  Employment Related Benefits for ODSP recipients. Therefore the seven employment benefits that are in place will continue to be available. This will mean that the WRB- Work Related Benefit which allow recipients to receive $100/month for work related necessities, such as transportation, will still be available.    Thank you to the ODSP Action Coalition for their continued and effective advocacy for people with disabilities!
