Response to the Manitoba government employment and income assistance rate review 2013 /

6 Mar 2014

The Manitoba Ombudsman's report on employment and income assistance in 2010, included recommendations to improve the EIA rate setting process. The Government's response is the EIA rate review report, released on December 6, 2013, which is a minimal response to a major issue, when considering the needs of about 62,000 Manitobans who rely on the program. The EIA rate review took three years to complete; with little to show for it! In this report, our response to the EIA rate review, we consider some of perspectives on EIA in the Rate Review, comment on recommendations in the Review and make suggestions on what could be done to improve the EIA program.
