Feds working on ‘wrinkle’ that excluded AISH recipients from $500 rent top up
“There’s a wrinkle in the policy,” said Edmonton MP and Liberal minister Randy Boissonnault, while in Edmonton for a tourism announcement Tuesday.“What’s happened is — we set the threshold at — you have to be making $20,000 and less to have access to the $500 top up. In the case of AISH recipients here in Alberta, they actually make $20,244.
“This is a terrible policy wrinkle. I don’t like it. I’m working with Finance and Housing to figure out a solution to solve it.”
