Reporting Income

If you are eligible to receive Ontario Works financial assistance, you will want to make sure your cheque arrives on time each month.

• Be sure to submit your statement of income card on time. Return the card on the 16th of each month. Do not return the income statement before the 16th of each month or it will be returned to you.

• You must report all income received.

• If you do not have the income listed you must record NIL in the box.

• Remember to sign and date the income statement on the back.

• Be sure to attach pay stubs or other verification such as babysitting receipts, if you are reporting earnings and/or other income.

• Your income statement must be completed and returned every month, whether you have income or not. Benefits are suspended if it is not returned.

Remember that any changes in your circumstances can affect your assistance and, in order to protect your own interest, it is important to let your Case Manager know as soon as possible.
