PrintSocial Benefits Tribunal (SBT) Key Performance Indicators Archive
The SBT considers appeals by applicants who have been refused social assistance and recipients of social assistance who disagree with a decision that affects the amount of, or their eligibility for, social assistance.
Tribunals Ontario’s Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) track the performance of our tribunals in a consistent manner and will be used to continually monitor and improve processes at tribunals. These KPIs are part of Tribunals Ontario’s ongoing commitment to continuous improvement and to ensure that the services we provide meet the needs of our users.
For more information on the meaning of key terms, refer to our terms and definitions. For more information about KPIs and how they were calculated, see Key Performance Indicators.
