Additional Social Assistance Benefits
Written by Jeremy Zafran on 16 February 2022
Kahnawa’kehró:non who receive Social Assistance benefits will be getting additional COVID-19 funding, intended to off-set essential living expenses and the rising costs associated to the pandemic. Each client file will receive the same amounts regardless of the amount of people residing at a particular household and it will be retroactive to November, 2021. The period being covered will be from November of last year until January, 2022. The benefits will be issued this week, only through mailboxes. The total monthly benefit has not changed and if a person received Social Assistance benefits for only one month, then they will be entitled to receive the retroactive amount for that period.
