Ontario is increasing ODSP rates by 2.8% effective July 2025
This is the fourth rate increase since the province 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.
A reminder that only the formula for annual adjustments is contained in the regulations. The ODSP Income Support Directives are expected to be updated in July to reflect the new rate maximums for various benefit unit types.
