      Historique

      The Income Maintenance Branch was established in January 1979, assuming responsibility for programs previously delivered by the Provincial Benefits Branch, the Municipal Welfare Consulting Branch, the Rehabilitation Services Branch and the Soldiers' Aid Commission.

      The Branch was led by a Director who reported to the Assistant Deputy Minister, Adult Services. Programs were delivered centrally and by field representatives in regional offices throughout Ontario. Staff assessed and adjudicated applications for family benefits funding, assisted eligible veterans with costs of extraordinary needs (dentures, eyeglasses, etc.) and provided financial support to families caring for severely handicapped children.

      Other programs administered by the Branch were the Work Incentive Program, designed to provide job retraining, Desertion Serivces, which provided assistance locating spouses who left their families, and a program to assess applicants for eligibility for legal aid services.

      The Income Maintenance Branch ceased to exist in 1981 following the establishment of the Operational Support Branch. This new branch combined policy and program delivery functions relating to the administration of the General Welfare Assistance Act and the District Welfare Administration Boards Act. Income Maintenance became a unit within the Operational Support Branch which dealt primarily with Family Benefits issues.
