Historique
Effective January 1, 1974 the Provincial Benefits Branch replaced the Family Benefits Branch with expanded responsibilities for administering vocational rehabilitation and welfare assistance in unorganized areas of the province.
In 1975 vocational rehabilitation responsibilities were decentralized to District Offices. Further efforts to decentralize social service programs resulted in a 1979 reorganization where the functions of the Provincial Benefits Branch moved to the control of the Adult Services Division.
