When are ontario works cheques mailed out

In Ontario, Canada, Ontario Works (OW) cheques are typically mailed out on a bi-weekly basis, every two weeks. The exact date of mailing may vary depending on the individual's payment schedule and the date of their application.

Here are some general guidelines on when Ontario Works cheques are typically mailed out:

• For new applicants, the first payment is usually mailed out within 2-3 weeks of receiving the application.
• For existing clients, payments are usually mailed out on a regular bi-weekly schedule, usually on a Monday or Tuesday.
• If the payment date falls on a statutory holiday, the payment will be mailed out on the next business day.

It's important to note that Ontario Works cheques are usually mailed out by the Ontario Ministry of Community and Social Services (MCSS) on behalf of the Ontario government. The MCSS has a centralized payment system, and payments are typically processed and mailed out from their offices in Toronto.

If you're an Ontario Works client and you're expecting a payment, you can check the status of your payment online through the Ontario government's website or by contacting your local Ontario Works office.
