About

Benefit Check .CA

An independent calculator that helps Canadians on low income find the federal and Ontario benefits they qualify for.

Why this exists

Every year, low-income Canadians leave thousands of dollars in benefits unclaimed — not because they don't qualify, but because they don't know about the programs, the rules feel complicated, or the application paths are scattered across federal and provincial sites. ODSP, Ontario Works, CCB, OTB, GIS, the Canada Disability Benefit, the Canada Workers Benefit — each lives in its own corner of government.

This site puts them all in one place. Answer a few questions, get a clear estimate of what you may be entitled to, and see where to apply. Two minutes, no signup needed to see the preview.
