The Government of Alberta is all set to send out the Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped and Income Support payments for November 2025 on time. Here, we have discussed the payment date, amount, eligibility and other details.
Note that the AISH and IS payments are received via direct deposit and paper cheque, and the date for each is confirmed. The release dates for both vary from one another. If you get the payment via direct deposit, your payment will be received shortly.
If you get an AISH or IS payment via paper cheque, you need to know it takes up to a week to be received in the mailbox. The payout amount for the beneficiaries is going to be the same as the previous, as no changes have been announced so far.
What is the November 2025 AISH and Income Support payment date?
The payment dates for the Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped and Income Support are announced by the Government of Alberta. The direct deposit is going to be received four business days before the first of November 2025, and the paper cheque is going to be sent out six business days prior.
As the direct deposit is going to be received four business days prior, it will be received by beneficiaries of AISH and IS on October 28, 2025. The paper cheque will be sent out six business days earlier; as the 25th and 26th of October 2025 are Saturday and Sunday, it will be mailed on the 24th of the month.
Note that because of the Canada Post service disruption, the paper cheque may face an unexpected delay to be received. The AISH and IS payment may be delayed by two weeks and even more. If you don’t get affected, it is highly recommended to you to switch to direct deposit from the paper cheque.
