Yukon Social Assistance is a program that provides financial assistance to people who do not have enough money to live on. This program is to be used only as a last resort after all other possible sources of income have been explored.
When you cannot meet your basic living expenses, and you have tried all other possible sources, then you may be eligible for Social Assistance.
If you are eligible for income assistance from any other Government, Agency or Program you are required to access that source first before coming to the Yukon Government’s income assistance program.
