Saskatchewan Assured Income for Disability (SAID)

The Saskatchewan Assured Income for Disability (SAID) program is a provincial income support initiative tailored for individuals with significant and enduring disabilities.
Overview of the Saskatchewan Assured Income for Disability (SAID) program:

SAID provides a monthly Living Income Benefit to eligible individuals, enabling them to cover essential costs such as shelter, food, transportation, and personal needs. Unlike traditional income support programs, SAID allows recipients to retain greater control over their finances and customize their spending according to their unique requirements. Key components of the program include: Living Income Benefit: A fixed monthly amount provided to address daily living expenses. Earned Income Exemptions: Beneficiaries can earn additional income up to a specified limit without reducing their benefits: $6,500 annually for single individuals. $7,700 annually for couples. $8,500 annually for families. In 2024, the program introduced enhancements to improve financial support. A $6.3 million investment increased the monthly Living Income Benefit by up to $55 per household, further helping clients manage the rising cost of living.
