Albertans Fear New Disability Benefits

Starting July 1, Alberta will roll out ADAP — a new program for working adults with disabilities — sparking fear and outrage among advocates.

Critics warn that rising costs and perceived cuts are pushing vulnerable individuals to breaking point, with the government’s reassurances falling short for many. Transition notices have already gone out — most recipients will stay on AISH or move to ADAP, except those with severe disabilities, terminal illness, or age-related exemptions.
