IMPORTANT NOTICE
Annualized Earnings Exemption : http ://www .sdsi.gov.bc.ca/pwd/aee/index.html
There are a few important changes to how employment earnings will be
deducted from your PWD cheque. Although MSD&SI has a page dedicated
to explaining Annualized earnings , here are a few facts that have been
further clarified by the management of our local office:
» When completing your stub (hand written or on-line), you declare earning when you receive them . Do
not list anything you have not yet recei ved .
» N 0TH ING will be deducted from our PWD cheque until you have earned a total of $9600 in this
calendar year.
» Once you have earned $9600 EVERY DOLLAR you earn will be deducted from your PWO.
» If you do not receive any funds for 2 months , you will automatically be switched to MSO (medical
services benefits only) When submitting your stub at the end of the next January, you must ask to be
placed back on PWD . so that you can now start earning up to $9600 again.
» You will not be eligible for the yearly bus pass until you are back on file as PWD. Because you can not
ask to be put back on PWD until you have your January earnings, you will likely not be eligible for a
yearly bus pass in January! You may have to purchase a monthly bus pass until your PWD status is
reinstated .
» If you have earnings from a job it will be important to SAVE DURING EACH MONTH . It would be a
good idea to set up a separate savings account. Your total assets can total up to $5000. (Registered
Disability Savings and Trust Funds will not be counted as assets. Funds recei ved from your trust WILL be
considered income. NOTE : If you have your savings in an account with 2 signatures , the ministry only
counts ½ of the money to be you(s.
