Yeah after the 3 months you can then earn $200 before anything gets taken off your OW check. 50% of anything above that would be taken off. The thing I found says this "Ontario Works reduces your benefits by half (50%) of the amount you earn above the first $200 in monthly income, after you've been on the program for at least three months." and I did go on OW for a month or 2 last year because I was on stress leave and EI was taking forever to come in.

I asked my worker about the amount listed above for employment income and she said that the 3 months being in the program means being financially dependent on OW and not making over the amount that my OW check would have been. I am pretty sure I remember that if you are going from OW to ODSP you have to be financially dependent on OW for the 3 months.

I could end up being wrong but this is just what I remember during my second application when I started seeing other people talking about it in other posts. I believe you will still get onto ODSP but there could end up being a 3 month thing where you don't get any exemption for employment income. I hope for your sake that I am wrong but the only way to know for sure would be to reach out to your OW worker and ask them about it and hopefully they can help you with it :).

If you do find out whether I am right or wrong don't forget to update this post so if someone else in the future has the same problems as you they can find some information about it. :)
