What is Ontario Disability Support – Employment Support

ODSP – Employment Supports can help you find a job, keep a job, or increase the number of hours of work. The program can also help you become self-employed.
What if I am receiving ODSP-Income Support
and want to start working

If you are receiving ODSP and want to find a job, you may be eligible for extra benefits, such as specialized equipment, child care, and work uniforms. If you lose your job or have to stop working, the program makes it easy for you to get back on ODSP- Income Support right away.

Please join us for two FREE presentations to learn more about your rights as an employee and the recent changes to O.D.S.P.
