Were you aware that when receiving financial assistance through the PEI Government, you are entitled to certain benefits. Foe example, when reentering the work force, there is a $100 dollar allowance for clothing, or work related expenses. Also the program will also reimburse any out of pocket expenses associated with training or work related materials you require to start a job. They will also help with transportation costs associated with getting to and from your employment.

When you so start working and generating an income, the program will allow you to transition from unemployment status to employed status. Meaning, there is a benefit called the Transition to Employment benefit. This is where you start working, but the program will still give you your entitlement for that month and you may also be eligible for some assistance in future months. It's a way of helping people get a head start, so hopefully it will get you off Welfare.
