Co-Creating Principles and Recommendations for Canada Disability Benefit Administration
The new Canada Disability Benefit (CDB) has the potential to transform the lives of millions of people with disabilities in Canada. Not only can it lift people with disabilities out of poverty, but it can offer a benefit experience that is humane, empathetic, supportive, fully accessible, and that leaves nobody behind.
As the policy and regulations that will shape the CDB are being developed, the federal government has an opportunity to make the CDB a model benefit, with world-class accessibility standards.
March of Dimes Canada and
Prosper Canada partnered to explore the question of how people with disabilities will access the CDB, with the goal of dismantling barriers to ensure all eligible individuals receive it. Our report outlines principles and recommendations we encourage the federal government adopt in the design of the CDB.
Get Involved
The federal government has committed to co-creating the regulations for the CDB with the disability community. The regulations will shape what the benefit looks like and how people with disabilities will access it.
