Employment and Income Assistance Program (EIA) for Persons with Disabilities - Government of Manitoba
The Employment and Income Assistance Program (EIA) provides financial help to Manitobans who have no other way to support themselves or their families. For people who are able to work, EIA will help them go back to work by providing supports to employment. EIA recipients also get Rent Assist if they need help with their shelter and utility costs.
This web page provides general information about the program; how to apply; who should apply; and the rights and responsibilities that apply to you and the program. Everyone’s situation is different, so if you need more details about what you may be able to get through EIA, contact your local EIA office.
