Online features make SAID applications simple, quick

The Ministry of Social Services is offering a new online application for the Saskatchewan Assured Income for Disability (SAID) program, making it easier and more accessible for residents to apply.

“The new clientfriendly online application process is simple, convenient and accessible,” said

Social Services Minister Gene Makowsky.

“SAID applicants will no longer need to visit a Social Services office in person to begin the process, enabling the ministry to process applications and connect clients to their benefits and services more quickly.”

Online applications can be submitted 24 hours per day, seven days per week, at a time that is best for the applicant.

The online system also gives new clients access to an online dashboard where they can easily upload documents or update their personal infor - mation. They can also sign up to receive text message alerts from the ministry regarding their file.

The new SAID online application process also supports the intent of new accessibility legislation (introduced in November 2022) to prevent and remove accessibility barriers for persons with disabilities.

Clients who apply online will no longer be required to travel to their local Social Services office for in-person meetings, which reduces transportation and mobility barriers for those who need assistance or live in remote areas.
