What amount does Ontario Works allow for basic needs?

Question

Since OW no longer supports your child's basic needs, I was wondering what the set amount for a single adults basic needs are? I know shelter is $500, but can't find a calculator for basic needs. Any help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

Here is a site that shows the basic needs http://www.isthatlegal.ca/index.php?name...

I believe it is correct because I asked my worker what the basic needs for adults would be and she said $211.

Hope that helps
