5. Tell ODSP about money you make and any life changes

When you get , you must tell the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) about:

any money you make from a job or training program, or from being self-employed
any other money you get, such as Employment Insurance benefits
changes in your life, for example, if you start a job, or if family members move in or out of your

Report income and changes

Each month, you must report the money you make and any changes to your employment to ODSP.

ODSP uses the information to figure out how much support you get in the next month. For example, ODSP uses your income from May 1 to May 31 to figure out how much income support you get at the end of June.

You must report your income to ODSP by the seventh day of the month.

If you're late, you might not get your income support on time.

How to report

You can report your income:

online through your MyBenefits account
by filling out an Employment/Income Training Report form and sending it to the ODSP office
over the phone using the Interactive Voice Response system

Keep your documents

ODSP can ask you for documents to prove:

that you qualify financially for income support
how much income support you should get

So keep any documents that show ODSP:

how much money you made, for example, pay stubs
what your expenses were, for example, child-care costs

You can send or attach copies of these documents when you report your income. Make sure to do this if your ODSP caseworker asks you to.
