Alberta Works brings together employment and training services, income support, health benefits and child support services to better help Albertans. Adults with a permanent disability that severely impairs their ability to earn a livelihood may be eligible to receive assistance through a separate program called Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped (AISH).
