At iCash, we recognize that disability-related financial needs are different from typical emergencies. Your AISH benefits represent consistent government income that shouldn't be treated differently from any other reliable payment source. We've built our lending approach around this understanding, creating processes that work with your monthly benefit schedule rather than against it.
Approximately 76,000 Albertans depend on AISH to cover their basic living needs, according to recent Alberta government statistics. Within this community, unexpected costs often center around accessibility, medical needs, and maintaining independence – expenses that rarely align with payment schedules.
Imagine a scenario where someone with a disability who relies on bathroom grab bars has their equipment failing during a winter storm, creating an unsafe situation that can’t wait for the next AISH deposit. Through a payday loan, they can obtain those repair funds almost immediately.
AISH payday loans are short-term financing that accepts social assistance as a valid form of income, specifically AISH (Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped), a program for Albertans living with a medical condition that prevents them from earning a living. They’re meant to provide some financial support until your next disability payment.
With iCash, 24/7 e-Transfer funding is available (yes, even on weekends and holidays), meaning you can receive AISH loans online whenever you need them, ensuring you get emergency funds for AISH when you need them most!
Absolutely, because your benefits are a valid source of income, and here at iCash, we recognize that. Many lenders view it as a stable, predictable income (because it is). Unlike traditional employment that can vary month to month (depending on the type of work), yourl benefits provide consistent monthly payments that lenders view favorably.
When approving, lenders are looking for reliable income sources, and government benefit payments qualify because they're government-guaranteed and deposited regularly. This makes loans for people on government assistance more accessible than you might expect.
Firstly, if you’re wondering about receiving AISH as a benefit, there are a handful of requirements you need to meet, such as being a resident in Alberta. You can view the government website to find out if you qualify for AISH. Now, let’s look at loan requirements:
