Basic Assistance Rates

The Employment and Income Assistance Regulation sets out basic assistance rates. Basic assistance rates are for basic living expenses. If shelter costs are needed, they are given in addition to the basic rates (see Rental Guidelines and Security Deposits sheet). As well, the Income Assistance for Persons with Disabilities benefit of $105 per month is not included in the basic rates and is given to eligible persons in addition to the basic rate.

The rates listed in the following tables do not apply when you are living in board and room, residential care, community residences, personal care homes, hospitals or institutions. If you live in an area of Manitoba that is west of Lake Winnipeg and north of the 53rd latitude, or east of Lake Winnipeg and north of latitude 51º 12', and are living in an independent living situation, please see the Northern Rates information sheets. If you would like more information about rates, please call your worker.
