1 Any income reportable to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) that is not provided with a full or partial income exemption is considered to be non-exempt by the AISH program.

2 Pension income received by a cohabiting partner is partially exempt, with two exceptions: Alberta Seniors Benefit payments are fully exempt if received by a cohabiting partner; sponsorship payments are non-exempt regardless of whether they are received by a client or cohabiting partner

3 Clients who receive a monthly OAS pension (excluding the OAS Allowances) or GIS are not eligible for AISH. Clients who receive the ASB (excluding the ASB Supplementary Accommodation Benefit) are not eligible for AISH as eligibility for the ASB is tied to eligibility for OAS.
