Alberta Programs Available in Edmonton
Provincial programs that residents of Edmonton can access.
Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped (AISH)
Up to $1,901/month (2025)
Alberta's primary income support for adults with a permanent disability that severely limits their ability to earn a living. Includes health benefits for the recipient, spouse, and dependent children. CRITICAL: Alberta claws back the $200 CDB from AISH recipients dollar-for-dollar. Priority processing is available for terminal and palliative cases. Budget 2025 included $49 million in cuts to the AISH program, though the government claims no income loss due to CDB offset — advocates strongly dispute this.

Proposed core benefit: up to $1,740/month (ADAP) vs $1,940/month (AISH post-launch)
NEW program launching July 1, 2026, for people with severe disabilities who ARE able to work. Features the highest employment income exemption in Canada. A single combined application covers both AISH and ADAP. All existing AISH clients will transition to ADAP on July 1, 2026, and can request reassessment for AISH through December 31, 2027. Regulations expected Spring 2026.
