Spousal Sponsorship Welfare Question

Hey everyone!

My husband and I are applying for PR next month and I was browsing the forums and saw a question about welfare and it got me curious about our own situation.

So my husband was receiving the Ontario Basic Income Pilot until March this year when it was cancelled and I believe that counts as welfare but since then he has been receiving Ontario Disability Support Program payments and working part time.

I've been living with him since November last year and throughout that time he's been supporting me financially due to me having visitor status.

I'm assuming that now because he is receiving social assistance for a disability and because he's also employed he's eligible to sponsor me?
