The Ministry of Social Services has a plan in place for clients and caregivers who usually receive benefit payments by mail, to minimize the impact of service disruption at Canada Post.
If you receive your payment by direct deposit, you will receive it as usual in your bank account.

In January 2024, the Ministry of Social Services launched the Saskatchewan Employment Incentive (SEI) program, that supports working families with low incomes. The new program will replace the Saskatchewan Employment Supplement (SES) program, which is now closed to new applicants. Current SES clients will continue to receive benefits as long as they meet the SES eligibility criteria while the program remains open. SES clients may apply for the new Saskatchewan Employment Incentive (SEI) if eligible. Clients cannot receive SES benefits and SEI benefits at the same time.
For more information on supplement rates, refer to the SES Rate Card.
