SSAH News and Updates

We try our best to keep you updated with new changes to the Ministry, but for the most accurate information, please be sure to visit and monitor the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services website.

May 21, 2025

SSAH and MFTD contracts were mailed to families this week, slightly later this year due to the provincial election and the shift to a new case management system. Payments expected May 15 will be delayed, but you should expect them to be released in the next few weeks. 

In the event of a postal strike, please upload documents through the SSAH portal or visit any ErinoakKids site to drop them off in person.
