Alberta ADAP Vs AiSh

 

Alberta ADAP Vs AiSH

A Fair Spread. 

AiSH. NOT AS GOOD. ADAP MERGER = BEST OPTION 

AiSH covered severe cases while ADAP does cover a broad range in tiers spreading out options for people more like New Brunswick & Ontario with a fair share adapting to a new foundation - tier based domestic first economy 

To lift payments up in tiers an investment strategy is required 

The Alberta government is launching the Alberta Disability Assistance Program (ADAP) on July 1, 2026, creating a dual-track system with AISH (Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped). While AISH serves those with severe, permanent disabilities preventing work, ADAP is for those with disabilities who are deemed capable of employment. ADAP offers lower monthly payments ($1,740) than AISH ($1,940) and introduces lower employment income exemptions ($700/month). 

Key Aspects of the AISH/ADAP Transition:

• Target Audience: AISH is reserved for those who cannot work; ADAP is designed for those with a disability who are able to work.

• Financial Impact: ADAP provides $200 less per month than AISH.

• Employment Income: ADAP recipients can earn up to $700 per month before benefits are reduced. However, the employment exemption is dropping from $1,072/month (current AISH) to $350-$700 depending on specific rules, leading to concerns about reduced income.

• Transition: Many current AISH recipients may be transitioned to ADAP starting July 2026.

• Benefits: Both programs retain non-financial health benefits, such as prescription and dental coverage. 

Concerns raised by advocacy groups like Inclusion Alberta focus on reduced financial support, tighter eligibility criteria, and potential challenges for recipients to find work.
