AISH Payment Dates
AISH is a financial assistance program provided by the Government of Alberta to residents with severe disabilities who are unable to support themselves through employment. The program aims to help individuals with disabilities maintain a basic standard of living.
AISH payments are typically distributed monthly. The specific amount an individual receives depends on various factors, including their living situation, income, and other financial circumstances.
The exact payment dates for AISH can vary slightly, but generally, the payment is issued on the first day of the month. However, if the first day falls on a weekend or holiday, the payment is usually processed on the preceding business day.
