The government of Alberta offers its residents a benefit if they suffer from a severe disability or handicap to help fund their living expenses. This benefit is called the Alberta Income for the Severely Handicapped program, providing a monthly cash deposit for healthcare and life expenses.
Depending on individual needs and circumstances, these benefits can accumulate to over $2,000 a month. As many disabled people cannot work, this program is their primary income source.
Who Is Eligible for the AISH Program?
There are age, residency, medical, and financial requirements to be eligible for the AISH program. To qualify for the AISH program, you must:
