When we talk about the affordability crisis, you sometimes hear the term “legislated poverty”, meaning the state of social assistance rates like Ontario Works and ODSP that assure people can never get ahead because the amounts paid never cover all the real costs of daily life. That's why Mike Morrice decided to act when he was elected to the House of Commons in 2021, but like all great quests, it hasn't ended up the way he envisioned. Can one person make a difference? This is the question when you elect anyone, but without a party whip or a legislative agenda, an MP pretty much has to follow their own north star and Kitchener MP Morrice followed his star to a private member's bill called the Canada Disability Benefit Act. The goal was to offer low-barrier, additional assistance to people with disabilities to help get them out of legislated poverty, but as always happens, reality couldn't live up to aspirations. When finished, the act proposed that people with disabilities in Canada will receive *up to* $200 per month once they've been approved for the Disability Tax Credit and all the requisite forms have been filled. On top of that, there was even doubt for a while that disabled people would even start getting their $200 this summer because the Treasury Board hadn't approved the regulations until last week, which wouldn't have happened at all in the event of a snap election. So how does the man who sponsored the Canada Disability Benefit Act feel now that he's on the other side? Morrice will talk about that, why he fought so hard for the act, and why, even though it's watered down, it's still going to be a game changer for people with disabilities in Canada. He will also talk about the ins and outs working with the government to get the bill done, fighting for key provisions to make the bill better, and the marathon the last few weeks to get the regulations finished before any potential election. So let's talk about how the proverbial sausage gets made on this week's Guelph Politicast! You can learn more about the Canada Disability Benefit Act on the Government of Canada's website. You can also check out Mike Morrice's ongoing advocacy on this and other issues at his website. The host for the Guelph Politicast is Podbean.

The Canada Revenue Agency's Gurpreet Plaha discusses the Disability Tax Credit available to Canadians with Disabilities. This is the March 16, 2023 episode.
The disability tax credit can go a long way to reduce the burden of a family dealing with the cost of a member with a disability. But this tax credit is not easy to get and getting help can command a high fee and the “Disability Tax Credit Promoters Restrictions Act” was supposed to help limit these fees. Jamie Golombek, managing director of tax and estate planning with CIBC Private Wealth, joins us to talk about the tax credit and why there is a court injunction that is pausing the restrictions act. Find out more on the CIBC Tax Site and connect with Jamie on Twitter, LinkedIn and at jamiegolombek.com.

Hey everyone! My name is Karyn Inder and welcome to The Model Tongue Podcast. A podcast where we discuss all things mental health, mental illness, body positivity, self worth and the importance of finding your voice. Welcome to the new year! Let's start it off proactively by preparing for tax season :) In this week's episode, Noreen shares information regarding the Disability Tax Credit. If you experience mental illness and/or a mental disability, you may qualify for this tax credit. So, what is the DTC? The Disability Tax Credit(DTC)is a non-refundable tax credit that helps persons with disabilities or their supporting persons reduce the amount of income tax they may have to pay. In this episode, we break down everything you need to know, from how to apply to how to self advocate for yourself, we hope we can make something that can be overwhelming a little more manageable! Also, we've included some important links below and here is a Step-By-Step guide to applying! Noreen's Notes: Step 1: download the form Step 2: fill out the first page of the form (Part A) with your information Step 3: print out entire doc with your info filled out Step 4: Make an appointment to talk about the form with your doctor or nurse practitioner, give them the document to fill out - they have to fill out Part B. notes: - Not everything on page 2, 3 and 4 need to be filled out, only fill out what applies to the applicant. - ALL of page 5 must be filled out by your Dr /nurse practitioner Step 5: Send the form to the CRA (I recommend sending it via courier so you can confirm it was delivered). The address you send it to depends on where you live, see page 6 for the addresses. Once you have sent it, you must wait for the CRA to respond and let you know their decision. This can take many months so be patient. They send a response via regular mail. If your application is denied, they will explain why on the notice of determination and options to challenge their decision. If you are approved, then you are normally approved 3-5 years into the future so you don't have to reapply every year. I recommend that you choose yes on page 1, section 3 so that the CRA can adjust your taxes for previous years for you.

Week 17 of my COVID-19 series is a solo episode where I talk about my experience being a parent during a pandemic. I don't pretend to know what it's like to be a single parent, have more than one child, or have older children, but I go through what it's been like for me since Henry was born almost 18 months ago. Links to the podcast episodes about parenting that I mentioned: Debt Free in 30 Episode 307 with Julie Wildman: https://youtu.be/pj2K5v5jMpo Because Money Podcast S6 Ep5 - Welcome to Parenthood: https://becausemoney.ca/s6-ep5-parenthood/ Not directly connected to parenting, but something I mentioned in the episode, here's Alan Whitton aka Big Cajun Man on the Maple Money Podcast talking about the Disability Tax Credit and the Registered Disability Savings Plan: https://maplemoney.com/podcast/disability-tax-credit-rdsp/
Many Canadians don't realize that the government has an investment plan designed specifically for Canadians with disabilities. The Registered Disability Savings Plan exists to help disabled Canadians with their long term savings, but it can be difficult to understand. Alan Whitton is the founder of Canajun Finances, where he writes extensively about the Registered Disability Savings Plan, and RESPs as well. He joins me this week to explain the ins and outs of the RDSP, as well as the Disability Tax Credit. You can find the show notes for this episode at https://maplemoney.com/alanwhitton Do you bank with a member of CDIC? If so, your eligible deposits with that institution will be protected up to $100,000 in each of their coverage categories, in the event of a bank failure. Didn't know that banks could fail? CDIC has handled the failure of 43 of its member institutions since it was established in 1967. Guess how many people lost their protected deposits during those failures? Zero. Not a single dollar under CDIC protection was lost. Find out more about CDIC coverage and check to see if you bank with one of its member institutions by visiting https://www.cdic.ca

The Disability Tax Credit Rob: Hey folks! Today, Adam and I are chatting about the DTC, the Disability Tax Credit. I'm Rob Tétrault from robtetrault.com, Head of the Tétrault Wealth Advisory Group here at Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management. I should introduce my guest here today. Thrilled to have Adam Buss, Wealth and Estate Planning Specialist here at Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management. Adam, thanks for being here. The disability tax credit, how does it apply and what is it exactly? Adam: It's a non refundable tax credit for those who have a qualified disability. And it's basically meant to try to equalize the disadvantages and the added costs that an individual with a qualified disability may face. They've basically given them a little bit of money back on an annual basis. Rob: Okay, that would mean, for example, an adult with a disabled child, right? Adam: It could be an adult with a disabled child, an individual who's above 18 and has a qualified disability. Any of those things, and this is a tax credit that can kind of carry on for your lifetime if you're considered qualified, Rob: and the DTC is attached to that individual with the disability. Adam: It's attached to that social insurance number essentially. Rob: And when they are minor, their parents in theory could or would get the credit. And when they're an adult, potentially they would get the credit on their own. Adam: Yeah. Or even if they're an adult and they have somebody who needs to claim them as a financial dependent. That individual can claim that disability. Rob: Okay. there's a bunch of different ways a person can be eligible for the DTC, you must meet some of the following criteria. What would some of those be? Adam: You know, there is substantial criteria. It generally means that if you're blind. You have troubles with certain activities of daily living, and different restrictions. There's quite a lengthy list. Certainly recommend going to the CRA's website to look at the full definitions. But when in doubt, if you have any sort of disability that you think may be qualified, chat with your doctor, chat with your tax professional to see if you can get qualified for the disability tax credit. It's a huge advantage for your income tax return. Rob: And I see here that the disability, the impairment is a prolonged impairment. They're saying it needs to be for an expected continuous period of at least 12 months. Adam: It needs to be long term. I could break my leg and have a reduced lifestyle for the six months or whatever, but it's not long term. To qualify it needs to be something that affects your lifestyle and your life on a long-term basis. Rob: And it must be present substantially all the time, at least 90% of the time. Now the tax credit, does that just reduce your tax or does it reduce your income? And it's $8,000 per year? Adam: That's $8,000 per year, which I believe reduces your income. Again, I'm not an accountant. We always recommend reviewing these items with your tax professional to make sure that it's being properly applied to your situation. Rob: If you have the DTC, if you have the disability tax credit, then you could check out our other video on this, but you could automatically qualify for the RDSP, is that correct? Adam: qualifying through the disability tax credit is the prerequisite for qualifying for the RDSP, the registered disability savings plan, which you did a fantastic video on not that long ago that I recommend you check out. Rob: So the RDSP, the really neat thing about that one is, there's a ton of grants and potential bonds, you put a few thousand dollars in... $2,500 a year, and the government will match you $3,500 a year, for example. It's a great savings vehicle. Okay. if you do have the DTC, you're wanting to get the $8,000 tax credit, but you also qualify for the RDSP. make sure to talk to your advisor, a guy like me. And for that you can go to www.speaktorob.com and you can find out all about the wonderful ways to structure an RDSP, and how to actually build a portfolio for that.

Registered Disabilities Savings Plans are geared towards helping families and individuals who are living with a disability. RDSPs can only be setup for someone who is eligible to receive the Disability Tax Credit. If this is for your child, you can only begin making contributions after your child is diagnosed with an eligible disability. This is one of the main reasons RDSPs aren't as commonly used, or as frequently discussed. On this week's podcast we're welcoming back Alan Whitton, the voice behind the Canadian Personal Finance blog. This is a subject close to Alan as he and his wife found themselves having to set up an RDSP for their son. After familiarizing themselves with the ins and outs of the Disability Tax Credit, they sought help from their doctor to obtain it. On today’s show we discuss how they work, who is eligible, and what happens if you have an RDSP and file bankruptcy.
