New Social Assistance Rates – Nov / Dec 2012

October 10, 2012

As has been the case every year for the last three years, the provincial government is applying a 1% increase to social assistance rates starting in November / December 2012.

And, as we do every year, we have created a rates sheet that provides information on the actual amounts of the former and new rates for a select number of family types.

Click here to download the updated rates sheet: Social Assistance Rates Sheet – 1 Per Cent Increase – 2012. The rates sheet also includes information on how some other benefits will also be changing.

In addition, you likely know that the government is making changes to other benefits for people on social assistance. Information on these changes can be found in ISAC’s response to Budget 2012 and in the government’s budget here and here. 

Please click here to learn more about cuts to housing and homelessness funding (the Community Start-Up and Maintenance Benefit and the Home Repairs Benefit) and to take part in our campaign on this issue.

And please note that the Social Assistance Review Commission’s final report and recommendations was released on Wednesday, October 24. Look here for a roundup of media articles and various responses to the report.

ISAC will be providing additional analysis and information on the report and next steps in the coming weeks.
