March 26, 2020 by DABC

DABC has joined with other advocacy groups to call on the provincial government for additional support for people who receive income assistance and disability assistance during the COVID-19 crisis. Specific asks include temporary exemption of EI and the newly announced federal Emergency Support & Emergency Care benefits from clawback, as well as increasing availability of crisis supplements for all income assistance and disability assistance recipients.
