Reading the schedule
- First and last published deposits: January 30, 2026 and November 30, 2026.
- Earlier than the calendar month end: Jan 30, Feb 27, May 29, Sep 29, Oct 30, because the last day of those months falls on a weekend or a holiday (September 30 is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation).
- Still to be announced: the December 2026 deposit. Ontario usually moves it ahead of the holidays, so plan for a long gap to the end of January.
- Ontario Works is on the same run. The two programs share deposit days, but Ontario Works files each one under the following month. See the Ontario Works 2026 dates.
How much ODSP pays
From July 1, 2026, ODSP rates rose 1.9% with inflation, and a single person's combined basic-needs and shelter ceiling is $1,436 per month. Rates are indexed every July. The amount is adjusted to your situation, so your housing costs, a spouse or children all change the figure on your statement.
The federal Canada Disability Benefit is exempt as income for ODSP, so applying for it costs you nothing on the provincial side. It needs an approved disability tax credit and a filed tax return.
Frequently asked questions
When is ODSP paid in 2026?
ODSP income support is deposited on the last business day of the month: Jan 30, Feb 27, Mar 31, Apr 30, May 29, Jun 30, Jul 31, Aug 31, Sep 29, Oct 30, Nov 30. Ontario has not yet published the December 2026 date; December payments are often released earlier than the month end.
Why is ODSP paid before the month it is for?
The deposit at the end of one month is the money you live on for the next. That is why a December payment that arrives before the holidays has to stretch to the end of January.
How much is ODSP in 2026?
The single-person ceiling is $1,436 monthly (basic needs plus shelter), following a 1.9% inflation increase on July 1, 2026. Your household and housing costs change the amount, so your own figure is on your ODSP statement.
Does the Canada Disability Benefit reduce my ODSP?
No. Ontario exempts the federal Canada Disability Benefit as income, so it does not affect ODSP eligibility or the cheque. The CDB arrives separately from the CRA, mid-month (for example October 15, 2026).
My ODSP deposit has not arrived. What should I do?
Give the bank one business day to post it, then check your messages in MyBenefits and contact your ODSP caseworker, who can see whether the payment was issued and how.
