Trapped behind the Welfare Wall

from NOW and NEXT Hosted by Dave Trafford

In this episode of The Daily Brief, we explore the WELFARE WALL. It refers to the unintended consequence of social support programs that effectively discourages people from supplementing their pension, their welfare or social assistance cheques with a part time job. Thousands of individuals with serious disabilities end up on welfare. And many of them inadvertently become trapped behind that welfare wall because it is their chief source of income and often the only route to disability supports and benefits.
