Ontario Works Application

Legal Services and Human Rights
1

Good Morning

My parents have their Ontario works application meeting tomorrow in Ottawa and I have a few questions about what the interviewer will be asking them.
I am aware of the documents requested and I have prepared it for them.
But do they ask or have access to the following:
1- Debt information? How much debt do they have in loans or line of credit?
2- Do they run a credit score report for them?
3- Does debt affect their chances of getting assistance?
Please let me know and thank you for reading.

Thanks

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your parents’ situation and your questions with us.

If they have already had their appointment, we hope that it went well. We apologize for not getting this information to you sooner.

Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
