The Canada Disability Savings Bond is money that the Government will deposit into the Registered Disability Savings Plans (RDSPs) of low-income and modest-income Canadians. If you qualify for the bond, you will receive up to $1,000 a year depending on your family income (see Beneficiary’s Family Income). There is a limit of $20,000 over your lifetime. Bonds are paid into the RDSP until the year you turn 49 years old.You do not need to make any contributions to your RDSP in order to receive the bond. However, you must apply for the bond at the Financial Organization where you have your RDSP.

Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP)
The Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP) helps Canadians with disabilities and their families save for the future. If you are a Canadian resident under age 60 and are eligible for the Disability Tax Credit (Disability Amount), you are eligible for an RDSP. Earnings accumulate tax-free, until you take money out of your RDSP. Parents or guardians may open an RDSP for a minor. With written permission from the holder, anyone can contribute to the RDSP.

Special Needs and Moving On
The Special Needs and Moving On Projects provide resources and support for workers at the post office whose children have disabilities. The projects are available to members of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers and the Union of Postal Communications Employees (Public Service Alliance of Canada). The Special Needs Project is geared to families with young children; the Moving On Project is for adult sons and daughters with special needs. Life is more demanding when you work and have a child with special needs.
