Who is eligible for the Top Up Program?

To receive the top up funding for the period of April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024 you MUST be receiving BOTH the Incontinence Supplies Grant from Easter Seals Ontario AND Assistance for Children with Severe Disabilities (ACSD).

Please note ACSD is not the same as the Ontario Child Credit or the Disability Tax Credit.

Please review the following information to determine eligibility before completing the application:

• If your child receives the Incontinence Supplies Grant from Easter Seals Ontario AND Assistance for Children with Severe Disabilities (ACSD), please complete Section A of the Top Up Grant application form.
• If your child does not receive Assistance for Children with Severe Disabilities (ACSD), he or she is not eligible. Please do not complete the Application Form. You will continue to receive the Incontinence Supplies Grant payment every 6 months.

Please note: If you or your spouse receives income support under Ontario Works (OW) or Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) your child will not be eligible for the Top Up Grant. You may be eligible to apply for another Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services funding benefit called the Mandatory Special Necessities Benefit. Please contact your OW or ODSP worker directly to find out more.
