Yes, 2.8%, will be on July's cheque (end of July)

Ontario is increasing ODSP rates by 2.8% effective July 2025 Protecting Ontarians starts with safeguarding our social services. This is the fourth rate increase since we tied ODSP rates to inflation in September 2022. Rates have increased by a total of 20% since then. The 2025 inflation-based increase to ODSP will take effect on July 1, 2025. People receiving ODSP will see an inflation-based increase of 2.8% to: basic needs and shelter maximum amounts for singles and families board and lodge amounts for singles and families the amount provided for a couple where both have disabilities amounts for services provided by a Long-Term Care Home or a Specialized Care Residence For example, effective July 2025, if you are a single person, your payment could be up to $1,408 for basic needs and shelter.

If a recipient is homeless, when they're rock bottom and need the most help they receive less, only 'basic needs' which for OW is only $343/mo. 🤦

From our understanding, Lib's indicated they'd double ODSP over two years, but saw nothing from them regarding increasing/doubling OW, which is badly needed. Have a link/source? Thanks!
