Compare Alberta disability benefits when you work (AISH vs ADAP after July 2026)
See two side-by-side estimates for Alberta disability cash benefits after July 2026. Left column: staying on AISH (Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped). Right column: moving to ADAP (Alberta Disability Assistance Program), including the temporary $200/month top-up through Dec 2027 for people moving from AISH.
Estimate only. This tool does not decide whether you remain on AISH or transition to ADAP. Alberta reviews medical and financial criteria. An AISH worker must confirm your file.
If you move from AISH to ADAP, Alberta adds $200/month through December 31, 2027 (transition top-up). This estimate includes that amount in the ADAP column.
