AB Income Support
Alberta Income Support provides financial help to low-income Albertans who are unemployed or underemployed and need help meeting basic needs such as food, clothing, and shelter. It includes two streams: Expected to Work (ETW) for people expected to find employment, and Barriers to Full Employment (BFE) for people facing challenges that make full employment difficult.
If you have a disability, ask about the Barriers to Full Employment stream and about additional disability-related allowances. You can also be referred to health benefits and employment programs at the same time. Keep your caseworker updated if your income or living situation changes.
You may qualify if you are at least 18 years old, live in Alberta, are a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, refugee or refugee claimant, have low or no income and limited assets, and are either expected to work or have barriers to full employment. People with disabilities may be assessed for the Barriers to Full Employment stream.
Government-issued ID, proof of Alberta residency, Social Insurance Number, proof of income and assets (bank statements, pay stubs), and information about your housing costs.
Apply online through your verified Alberta.ca Account, or visit a local Alberta government office for help. A caseworker will assess your income, assets, and situation.
A common mistake is not reporting all income and assets, which can lead to overpayments you must repay later. Another is assuming you must be fully unemployed — underemployed people with very low income can also qualify. People also miss that health benefits may be available alongside the income payment.

Alberta Disability Assistance Program
ADAP is Alberta's disability income program for Albertans 18+ whose severe disability significantly impedes employment (continuously or episodically) but does not prevent it. Launched July 2026, it provides a $1,740/month core financial benefit, health and personal benefits, and higher employment-income exemptions than AISH. AISH clients who transitioned to ADAP in July 2026 receive a $200 monthly transition benefit that keeps their financial benefit equal to their existing AISH amount until December 31, 2027. There is one combined application for AISH and ADAP. For full eligibility, income rules, working on ADAP, and the AISH-to-ADAP transition, see our ADAP guide.
