Allow Disabled To Not Work So Hard

The Issue

This is a petition to the ODSP.

The basic formula for calculating your ODSP received every month is dependent on the previous month's income.


We want to give the disable the incentive and opportunity to work without penalty. We want them to have money to secure assets.
We want to provide them with a more manageable situation by increasing the amount they can earn before we start reassessing their need.

Total Monthly Income = ODSP - (last months employment earnings-200)/2

ODSP is $1000 per month. According to the formula above if I want $2000 earned one month I have to earn every dime of that money. $1000 will be withheld from my support.

14x8x5x4= $2240 <<minimum income for full time job.

The combined value of what is given and what is earned should be a simple addition where we will begin to make reductions (heavy ones) from the people that are earning more than $1,240 per month.

Run ODSP like this.

This will allow them to hold onto more money, do you really want all of your disabled in poverty?

If Earnings >= 1240
Total Income= ODSP + Earnings - (Earnings - 1240)/2
Else
Total Income= ODSP + Earnings

Your ODSP is always given in full until you earn enough money to put your combined income aligned with a full time minimum wage worker.

If you earn more than $1240 in any given month you are required to give back 1 dollar per 2 dollars earned.
