Disabled Emergency Relief Benefit

Because the Canada Disability Benefit was announced during the Throne Speech of September 23, 2020, and that C22 became law in June 2022, became in force in June 2024, and is not expected to start helping them until July 2025 at the earliest.

In BUDGET 2024 the Canada Disability Benefit was finally funded. $1 Billion per year will not help millions of people. It’s actually estimated to help just 600,000 by 2029. However conditions are to be met. They aren’t disclosed yet, and Primarily, the disabled Canadian must have the Disability Tax Credit (DTC).

The most recent PBO costing report estimated the Canada Disability Benefit would help AT LEAST 276,000 Canadians but up to 1.4 million if they self-declared their disability and was not held to “Regulations”.

Again, The budget is describing 600,000. However, the budget is $6 Billion for 6 years. This doesn’t make sense since the PBO estimated $2.1 Billion per year for over half the amount of Canadians.

DERB.CA was initially designed as an outreach for the Emergency Benefit, now it’s mission is to point out the inequalities and expensiveness to do so little. Showing Canadian efforts for Petitions, Articles, Resources and more. With no advertising or misleading sources.
