Soon you will receive your annual Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP) Statement of Grant Entitlement in the mail. For those of us too tired to calculate our annual contributions, the government does it for us. Of course this assume that you have an RDSP in the first place. For those of you who do not have an RDSP, I ask why not? Are you new to the world of autism or do you not like receiving free money from the government?
The RDSP letter will show what contribution you need to make to attract the maximum grant and/or bond for 2019.
I love to hate the government, but this really is a nice touch. They are all but begging to give you money.
You could deposit more money than required to attract the maximum grant, but for most families I recommend limiting their contributions. There is a lifetime maximum contribution limit and once that is filled, there can be no further government grants.
You can get more information about the RDSP from my website or RDSP.com.
