Saskatchewan Assured Income for Disability (SAID)
SaskatchewanDisabilityChecked November 1, 2026
SAID is Saskatchewan's long-term income support for adults with a significant and enduring disability. It pays a monthly Living Income Benefit for shelter, food, transportation and other needs, plus actual utility costs and extra benefits based on your needs.

Single: $1,289 in Tier A communities (Regina, Saskatoon, Lloydminster, Estevan and their bedroom communities) or $1,214 in the rest of the province (Tier B). Couple: $1,757 or $1,646. Single parent with 1–2 children: $1,566 or $1,419; with 3 or more: $1,721 or $1,574. Two parents with 1–2 children: $1,901 or $1,754; with 3 or more: $2,056 or $1,909.

- Not reporting changes in work, income, household, address or bank account right away; overpayments must be paid back
- Missing the 15-day deadline to appeal a decision letter
Still being confirmed: Saskatchewan.ca does not list SAID asset limits, and the payment-date table shows the January payment on December 30 without saying which year. Current clients whose amount would go down under the new rates keep their old amount. Your worker confirms your utilities and extra benefits. Check the official page for the latest details.
