Welfare is a basic form of income support provided by the state to those in need. In BC, the provincial government administers welfare via the Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction (the Ministry). '''Welfare is a “payer of last resort,”''' which means that in order to receive welfare, a person must demonstrate they have exhausted almost all other forms of support. This chapter will use the term “welfare” to describe all forms of income support provided by the BC government under the province’s welfare legislation. | Welfare is a basic form of income support provided by the state to those in need.
