The federal government has left out Albertans with disabilities in the one-time top-up to the Canada Housing Benefit (CHB), according to the province’s minister of seniors, Jeremy Nixon.
“The federal government is leaving out tens of thousands of AISH [Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped] clients in Alberta for their $500 rent-top up program by making the maximum income level for single individuals of $20,000. Currently, AISH clients receive $21,444,” said Nixon on social media on March 13.
