What the Ontario social assistance consent form asks for — and how to autofill it with my-id.ca
Complete the social assistance consent form without retyping your details
Ontario Works and ODSP may ask you to sign a consent form so the ministry can verify your information — and it repeats your name and identifying details each time. This guide is an example of storing them once in my-id.ca.
Official form and source
Start from the official source and always use the current version — form numbers and links can change:
- Service page: Social assistance — ontario.ca
- Form (Central Forms Repository): Consent to Disclose and Verify Personal Information — 006-0985
What this form is about
The consent form authorizes the ministry to collect and verify your personal information from other sources — such as employers or financial institutions — to determine or review your eligibility.
Before you start: what to gather
- Your full legal name and date of birth.
- Your current Ontario address and social assistance reference number (if you have one).
- Contact details for follow-up.
Confirm the current process on ontario.ca.
How my-id.ca makes it faster
- Save it once. Store your name, date of birth, and address in your my-id.ca profile.
- Keep documents ready. Upload supporting documents to my-id.ca Files so you are not searching at form time.
- Autofill the form. Use the my-id.ca Chrome extension on a web form, or fill a PDF from your saved profile inside my-id.ca.
- Review and submit yourself through the official channel.
