Income benefits and COVID-19
What’s ended, what’s new and how benefits interact

Which benefits are still available and who qualifies? And how do COVID-19 benefits interact with programs like Ontario Works (OW) or the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS)?
Our community-based experts will explain the rules of income assistance programs using case studies and examples. Learn how to help your clients access benefits while avoiding claw backs or unexpected tax bills.
