So basically the new #ODSP wage rules

Couples with a minimum wage spouse gain $30
Couples with a spouse making $19 an hour lose $110
Couples with a spouse making a living wage lose $185
In case 1, the ODSP recipient gets $827
In case 2, the ODSP recipient gets $407
In case 3, the ODSP recipient is entirely dependent on their spouse. They get $0
Calculations

Basic needs for a couple, no children: $1018
+ Shelter for a couple, no children: $821
+ Work related benefit of $100
Old system, $200 exempt, 50% clawback
New system, $1,000 exempt, 75% clawback

If you're on #ODSP and someone is giving you shit by saying "I'm a taxpayer, you're just . . . "

The total amount of provincial taxes that I pay (I make $70,000) that goes to a single person on ODSP is $0.0003. Feel free to value their opinion as such.
I pay roughly $4000 in provincial income tax.
Ontario's total expenses is $180,000,000,000.
ODSP is $15,000 per recipient

15,000 x 4,000 / 180,000,000,000 = 0.0003
$0.0003 * 550,000 = $165 for the entire ODSP payouts provincially. That's about 2 weeks of my taxes.
