As of July 1, 2012, a change in the Ontario Works Discretionary Benefits policy will mean staff… may have to deny the requests of those who even qualify for the benefits. This is due to a new provincial cap and the board may have met or exceeded the provincial maximum on Discretionary Benefits… includ(ing) dental care, eye glasses, a portion of the costs of prosthetic appliances, funerals and burials, and any other special service item. Non-health related Discretionary Benefits include vocational training and retraining, travel, transportation and moving expenses.
