Durham Region is offering Mobile ID and Benefits Access Hubs this spring to assist residents with low incomes in accessing financial benefits and government services.
According to the region, Ontario provides more than 40 benefits designed to support residents with lower incomes. These hubs aim to help eligible individuals learn about available benefits, obtain or replace government identification such as Social Insurance Numbers (SINs) and birth certificates, open a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP), and apply for federal programs such as the Canada Learning Bond and the new Canadian Dental Care Plan.
