Direct payment method

Make payments directly

Parents with children 12 years or older can also apply to receive funds directly and then make payments themselves . To qualify, the parent or guardian who signs the Direct Payment Agreement must have successfully managed their autism funding for at least 2 years.

Families that have more than one child with autism can also use the direct payment method for their other children if they are between the ages of 6 and 12.

If you would like to switch to the direct payment method, let the Autism Funding Branch know at least 60 days before the end of your current funding period.

At the end of each funding period, the parent must submit documents that show:

• Who provided services

• Proof of payment (invoices, receipts, Autism Branch approval letters, approved Justification for Equipment Forms, etc.)

• An Accountant Confirmation Form completed and signed by a professional accountant (Certified General Accountant, Chartered Accountant, Certified Management Accountant, or Chartered Professional Accountant)
