Description

In Ontario, approximately 30% of the population define themselves as family caregivers. A stressful job on its own, family caregivers are often trying to balance competing priorities and face unique financial pressures. This session is aimed at clarifying tax credit eligibility and the application process – whether you are a family caregiver to a child or adult or working with family caregivers. 

Session Objective

  1. Understanding the financial challenges of family caregivers.
  2. Assessing specific eligibility/access to tax credits and support programs when caring for a child or adult (at home or living in a facility), as of 2020, retroactive, and/or relative to earnings. The following items will be covered:
  • Federal and provincial programs: Disability Tax Credit, Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP), Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP), Passport Program.
  • Canada Caregiver Credit (Family Caregiver Amount). 
  • Canada Recovery Caregiving Benefit (CRCB-COVID-related).
  • Other COVID-related funding, e.g., the $600 one-time disability payment / $300 senior payment.
  • Consideration re: other tax credits.
  • Estate planning.
