Support for Dietary Needs

Employment and Income Assistance (EIA) will pay you extra money if you have a special medical diet. To get the special diet money:

  1. Give your worker a letter from your doctor or nutritionist that says what your medical diet needs are.
  2. EIA will add extra money for medical diet needs to your regular benefits.
  3. EIA will review this extra money on a regular basis.
  4. You may have to give your worker updated letters from your doctor or nutritionist.
