What we've corrected

21 July 2026

• AlbertaReported by a reader

  Corrected the AISH earnings exemption. The page attributed the $350/month exemption to the new ADAP. In fact $350 applies to people who remain on AISH, with every dollar earned above it deducted dollar for dollar, while ADAP allows $700/month ($1,100 for a parent). Both were cut from $1,072.

• AlbertaReported by a reader

  Updated the AISH maximum from $1,901 to $1,940/month, and added the Alberta Disability Assistance Program (ADAP) at $1,740/month following its launch on 2 July 2026. Noted that the $200/month transition benefit runs to 31 December 2027 and is not available to new applicants.

• British ColumbiaRoutine review

  Removed an incorrect claim that there is no asset limit for people with the PWD designation. The limit is $100,000 for a family unit with one PWD designation and $200,000 with two.

• British ColumbiaRoutine review

  Added the autism funding transition. Current amounts ($22,000 under 6, $6,000 for 6-18) continue until 31 March 2027, and the flexible-spend cap for training, equipment and travel rose from 20% to 50% in May 2026. From April 2027 they are replaced by the needs-based BC Children and Youth Disability Benefit ($6,500 or $17,000/year). A separate income-tested Supplement starts July 2027 and requires the federal Disability Tax Credit. It does not backdate, so families should apply for the DTC now.

• British ColumbiaRoutine review

  Corrected the PWD rate on the just-diagnosed pages from $1,358.50 to $1,483.50/month, which had drifted out of step with the comparison table.

• OntarioRoutine review

  Updated ODSP from $1,408 to $1,436/month and ACSD from $665 to $678/month, reflecting the annual inflation adjustment on 1 July 2026.

• OntarioRoutine review

  Relabelled the Ontario Autism Program figures. The $20,000 and $5,000 amounts are the older one-time Childhood Budgets, which are closed to new applicants and apply only to children registered before April 2021. Current core clinical services are needs-based with no fixed cap.

• QuebecRoutine review

  Corrected Social Solidarity to $1,318/month and added the Basic Income Program, which pays about $1,707/month for people with a persistent severe employment constraint and was missing from the site entirely.

• Nova ScotiaRoutine review

  Corrected Direct Family Support for Children from $2,200 to $2,800/month, and clarified that Enhanced Respite is an add-on raising the combined maximum to $4,800/month rather than a separate lower tier.

• Newfoundland & LabradorRoutine review

  Separated the $522/month shelter allowance from the $561/month basic Income Support rate, which previously read as though $561 were the full amount.

• Prince Edward IslandRoutine review

  Removed a $1,219/month figure that could not be traced to any government source. Assured Income is calculated as a budget deficit rather than paid at a flat rate, so no single monthly total is accurate. The components are a Basic Unit Rate of $537/month plus a shelter ceiling of up to $875/month tied to what you actually pay for housing.

• ManitobaRoutine review

  Updated the figure from $1,205 to $1,241/month (EIA plus Rent Assist) and dated it to the July 2025 rate table. Manitoba indexes each July, so a July 2026 increase likely applies, but it had not been published when we checked.

• New BrunswickRoutine review

  Updated the Extended Benefits rate from $939 to $955/month following the April 2026 indexation, and added the permanent $200/month Household Supplement, which stacks on top for a total of about $1,155/month.

• SaskatchewanRoutine review

  Replaced a flat $991 to $1,129/month range with a description of SAID's actual structure, which combines living income, disability income and shelter components with no single set maximum. A restructuring takes effect 1 September 2026.

• Yukon, Northwest Territories, NunavutRoutine review

  Added the three territories to the province comparison for the first time. Where a figure could not be confirmed from an official source it is marked as not published rather than estimated. NWT has not confirmed whether it will treat the Canada Disability Benefit as exempt.
