New rules mean that parents on social assistance who also get child support payments now have more money.

Child support \u2013 what’s new<\/h4>\n

There’s a new rule that Ontario Works (OW) and the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) no longer reduce a person’s assistance because they get child support<\/strong>.
\nPeople who get money from OW or ODSP now get to keep the child support payments and<\/strong> the full amount of their financial assistance from OW or income support from ODSP.
\nAs well, OW or ODSP will not<\/strong> refuse, reduce, or cut off assistance because someone does not try<\/strong> to get child support.
\nThe government got rid of the rule that said people had to make “reasonable efforts” to try to get child support from their child’s other parent.<\/p>\n
