 *If you are a parent on OW/ODSP, don't forget to file your income taxes!!!*


People who receive OW or ODSP and who have dependent children should be *extra
*sure that they file their tax return for 2007 before the end of April.

This is because the new Ontario Child Benefit starts in July, and OW / ODSP
rates are being changed to reflect the new benefit. People with children
will only receive the Ontario Child Benefit if they meet the eligibility
criteria, which includes filing your income tax return.

For more information, see ISAC's alert:  at
http://www.incomesecurity.org/OWandODSPRecipientsShouldFile2007TaxReturns-April2008.pdf.pdf
.
A word version is attached for those who cannot read PDF documents.

Additional information on the Ontario Child Benefit and Social Assistance
Rate Restructuring is available on ISAC's "Resources" page at:
www.incomesecurity.org/resources.html.

Local OW/ODSP offices may also be able to organize an information session on
the Ontario Child Benefit, Transitional Child Benefit and Social Assistance
Rate Restructuring for organizations and recipients in your community.
Contact the manager of your local office to enquire.
