Apply for Ontario Works without re-entering your household details

Ontario Works asks for every household member's identity, status, income, and assets — a lot to gather when you are already under pressure. This guide is an example of storing your household once in hivi so the application fills faster.

Official form and source

Start from the official source and always use the current version — form numbers and links can change:

• Service page: Ontario Works — ontario.ca
• Form (Central Forms Repository): Application for Assistance (Ontario Works / ODSP income support) — 006-0983

What this form is about

The application determines eligibility for financial and employment assistance based on your household's circumstances, income, and assets.

Before you start: what to gather

• Each household member's name, date of birth, and status in Canada.
• Your address.
• Income and asset information.
• Supporting documents the application requires.

Confirm the current process and what to bring on ontario.ca.

How hivi makes it faster

1. Store your household once. Save each member's details in hivi.
2. Keep documents together. Upload supporting documents to hivi Files so they are easy to provide.
3. Autofill the application. Use the hivi Chrome extension on the online application, or fill a PDF from your saved details inside hivi.
4. Apply through the official process yourself.

Why do it in hivi

The same household details recur across social assistance, benefits, and housing forms. Stored once in hivi — in Canada, with self-hosted AI — each application starts mostly filled, when you need that most.
