Just when you thought @jkenney & @RajanJSaw couldn’t possibly do any more damage to #AISH...

THEY RE-WROTE THE MINIMUM ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA !

Effective May 25th 2020
Further,

• If an applicant is denied due to general eligibility, their application will not be assessed for medical or financial eligibility.

• If an applicant is denied due to medical eligibility, their application will not be assessed for financial eligibility.
But wait Folks, there’s more...

They have also omitted from their Shiny New #YourGuideToAISH
the Payment Tables for both the Standard Living Allowance & Modified Living Allowance as well as the Child Benefit.

See page 4
Under Personal Benefits they have also removed the following
And replaced it with:

Leaving AISH Recipients with no proper guidance in how to apply
for these items/services that were available to them previously.

NO NOTICE, CONSULTATION OR FOREWARNINGS
Have I yet mentioned that this is the 4th overhaul to the AISH Program since @jkenney and the @Alberta_UCP came to power just last year? More specifically July 2019...
Other points of NOTE

Applications are no longer sent to your Local AISH Office, but now to an “ AISH Processing Centre “

There no longer appears to be an Exemption (as prior) for submitting Part B of Medical

IS Clients Caseworkers to decide coverage for Medical Report Fees
Instead of AISH Intake Workers, there are now “ AISH Assessors “

They have replaced knowledgeable Intake Workers with years of Experience, with General Assessors. Not skilled or highly trained in the subject matter.

Strictly Clinical Determinations
This is how they are going to systematically constrict and destroy the AISH Program.

I genuinely hope to see you hold
@jkenney, @RajanJSaw and the @Alberta_UCP accountable for these cruel and inhumane attacks against the AISH Program/Clients
Please ^RT and Tag others accordingly, if you see fit to do so...

TIA!
