FAQS: FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE THROUGH ONTARIO WORKS

Q: I am thinking of applying for Ontario Works. How much money can I get?

A: 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. You should contact your local Ontario Works office for more information.

(You can also refer to the Ontario Works policy directives or Ontario Works General Regulation 134/98. The Regulation is posted on the Government of Ontario e-Laws website.)
