It’s mean tested . I voluntarily took a year off work . I went to my Dr and she had prescribed medication. She said since I had taken a year off and was at zero income I now qualified for Trillium .Since I had nil income I was below the poverty level and qualified. I of course declined the offer , since as I told her , if I could afford to take a year off work , I could definitely afford the prescription
It is based on your last year's NOA and you also have to indicate if you have access to any insurance plan. Also dependent on your family size. The deductible is high enough that many won't benefit much. If you make no income but aren't on welfare or disability it is assumed that you have money coming in from somewhere.
