| Notes on program components |
Financial incentives: Monthly cash payments are offered to single-parents who have been on Income Assistance for at least the past year and who leave welfare for work (30 or more hours per week). Cash payments are paid on top of employment earnings, which effectively doubles income for jobs paying between $5.00 and $8.00 (Canadian) per hour.
Program requirements: Supplement payments are available only to single parents who work full time (at least 30 hours a week).
Time limits: Earnings supplements are available for up to three years only.
