Who can get ODSP
To decide if you qualify, ODSP counts all your income and assets. You will not get ODSP if:
- Your income is too high. Income is money you get, for example, a pay cheque.
- Your assets are worth too much. Assets are valuable items that you keep, for example, money in a savings account or property that you own.
If getting an inheritance makes your income or assets worth too much, you may not be able to get money from ODSP.
For example, a single person can have assets worth $40,000 or less.
How much income you can earn depends on the size of your family and what you pay for your housing.
