Sask. government change age of income disability program
The provincial government is making a significant policy change to the Saskatchewan Assured Income for Disability (SAID) program.
As of Sept. 1, 2017, it will no longer be available when a person turns 65.
The change will not impact those already on the program and government claims the change will impact 10 people a year going forward.
Introduced in 2009, SAID offers assistance to people living with chronic, enduring disabilities from the age of 18 and up.
