Appeals

Appeals to the Social Benefits Tribunal (SBT)

Applicants/participants have the right to appeal decisions of internal reviews with respect to prescribed mandatory benefits.  Decisions regarding discretionary benefits are not appealable. 

The letter will advise if the decision can be appealed to the Social Benefits Tribunal and the process to be followed.  Applicants/participants appealing an internal review decision can request interim financial assistance until a decision is made.  If interim assistance is granted, it must be repaid if the appeal is lost.

Application Forms are available at the local Ontario Works Delivery Sites.
