Albertans Struggle as Disability Payments Fail | Calgary News

from Calgary News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Thousands of Albertans on disability benefits are in crisis after August payments were miscalculated, missed, or underpaid — leaving families scrambling to pay rent and bills. Advocates report errors like $270 shortfalls and $500 cuts, blamed on a government “technical system error” affecting 2% of AISH and ADAP recipients. While officials promise full corrections by July 31, the deadline looms as a ticking clock for those relying on these funds for survival. Critics are demanding ADAP be scrapped altogether, citing its flawed design as the root of the chaos — and the human cost is mounting as families face mounting stress and uncertainty.
