1. Contact your local OW office
The Ontario Human Rights Commission has released their latest take on mandatory vaccines, passports and testing, here: http://www.ohrc.on.ca/en/news_centre/ohrc-policy-statement-covid-19-vaccine-mandates-and-proof-vaccine-certificates. In light of this update, and the new directives that the Province released a few weeks ago, we are in the process of updating our covid testing content. Please re-visit the site to access the updated content when it is available.
Question & Answer
I used to be on OW and I need it again. What can I do?Contact your Ontario Works (OW) office to see if you:
- can re-apply without doing a whole new application
- have to start over with a new application
OW can let you re-apply if you stopped getting less than 6 months ago.
If it was more than 6 months but less than a year, they can still let you re-apply. But they might want you to do a whole new application.
If it’s been more than a year since you got assistance from OW, you have to start a new application.
