If you qualify, Ontario Works can provide you with money to help you cover the costs of your basic needs (e.g. food) and housing costs. This is called financial assistance.
The amount of money you may receive from Ontario Works will depend on your:
-
family size
-
income
-
assets, and
-
housing costs.
Calculating the amount of money you may get is complicated. Start by using the Eligibility Estimator to find out if you may qualify for Ontario Works benefits. Depending on your outcome, you may be required to contact your local Ontario Works office either by phone or in person. Use the Social Assistance Office Locator to find an office near you. Ontario Works staff will talk with you about your situation and you can decide if you want to complete an application.
