On August 31, 2021, the Saskatchewan Income Support (SIS) program replaced both the Social Assistance Program (SAP) and the Transitional Employment Allowance (TEA). The result is a reduction in benefits that were already grossly inadequate. Saskatchewan Assured Income for Disability (SAID) (created in 2008) remains in place.
