Introduction

People with disabilities who live in Quebec and who meet the necessary age, financial, and resident criteria may be eligible to receive benefits under the Social Solidarity and the Basic Income Programs.

Both programs help individuals and families living with a long-term disability that severely limits your capacity for employment.

To receive the Basic Income Program, you must first apply for and receive the Social Solidarity Program. Once you are approved for the Social Solidarity Program you do not need to apply for the Basic Income Program. You will automatically receive it if you meet the eligibility requirements.

Each step involved in the application process for the Social Solidary Program will be described in detail in this module. You can leave the site and come back later when you have more time, energy, and the documents you may need to complete a step.

Please note: You may need a doctor or other medical professional to fill out parts of the application on your behalf, to confirm your disability.
