If you are receiving Ontario Disability Support Program Income Support and are working or want to work, the program’s employment incentives and benefits can help.

If you have child care or disability-related work costs while you are working or running a business, the employment deductions can help.

Employment benefits include:

• Employment and Training Start Up Benefit, help with the costs of starting a job or an employment related activity (for example, a job search)
  
• Coverage for up-front child care costs, help with child care costs that you have to pay in advance to start working, keep a job or change jobs
  
• Work-Related Benefit, help with the costs of employment while you are working
  
• Transitional Health Benefit, health coverage if you leave the Ontario Disability Support Program for paid work
  
• Extended Health Benefits, health coverage if you are no longer financially eligible for Income Support and have high health costs
  
• Employment Transition Benefit, help with the transition from Income Support to employment when you leave the Ontario Disability Support Program for paid work
