# Disability income support from the province

Provincial or territorial service · Benefits and money

Compiled by Mahmoud Halat, checked 13 October 2026. Not a government website. The official page always has the final word.

## Short answer

Provinces and territories pay monthly income support to people with a disability and a low income, such as ODSP in Ontario and AISH in Alberta.

Each province and territory runs its own. Find yours in the table below.
