Speaking of stupid crap #ABgov is pulling: By now many if you know that #AISH recipients were all forced to apply for the Federal Canada Disability Benefit which would provide up to $200/mo to qualifying #DisabledCanadians and which #Alberta is clawing back, dollar for dollar.
What I didn't realise is that this is being managed federally similar to a tax credit, so pays from July 2025 through June 2026 inclusive.
Which also means recipients get a lump sum payment for prior months to whenever they were accepted.
Sometime after you provide AISH with proof of your #CDB, they will then have the collections dept contact you to "recover" this overpayment from the prior months' "overpayment."
So for goodness sake, set that lump sum aside and don't touch it until uou can just send it to them, or they will be deducting significantly MORE per month than JUST the regular monthly Federal benefit.
