You may qualify for Income Support if you:

• are 18 years of age or older
• live in Ontario
• are in financial need, and
• have a substantial physical or mental disability that:
• is expected to last a year or more, and
• makes it hard for you to care for yourself, take part in community life or work.

To determine if you are eligible to receive Income Support, we look at your:

• financial situation, and
• disability status.

Financial eligibility

We consider your and your family’s income, assets, housing costs and the size of your family to calculate:

• if you qualify financially for Income Support and, if so
• how much you can receive.

Disability eligibility

You also need to meet the definition of “a person with a disability” as defined under the Ontario Disability Support Program Act.
