AISH, income support payment dates changing in March
EDMONTON, AB — The provincial government has changed the date for when Albertans receiving Income Support of Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped (AISH) will receive their monthly payments.
Starting in March, the monthly payment date for both programs will begin on the first of the month. Previously, the payment date was a few days before the beginning of the month, with the actual date of payment varying from month-to-month.
“Having a consistent and predictable payment date aligns recipients’ monthly income and monthly costs,” a release from the government reads. “This change should help Albertans receiving payments better plan and budget for expenses from one month to the next.”
The government says when the first of the month is a weekend or holiday, payments will be deposited or mailed on the last business day of the previous month.
