On July 1, Alberta began moving most recipients of the Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped (AISH) to a new program, the Alberta Disability Assistance Program, or ADAP.
ADAP is intended for people whose disabilities restrict but do not completely prevent employment. It allows recipients to keep their disability benefits while earning more from their jobs, but its maximum monthly benefit is $1,740, $200 below the current maximum AISH benefit.
