Calculation of monthly benefit, par. 7 of s. 1

4. (1) For the purposes of paragraph 7 of section 1 of this Schedule, the amount of the benefit payable in respect of a household is calculated as follows:

1. Subject to paragraphs 2, 12, 14, 15 and 16, the amount is calculated using the following formula:

80% AMR – [(AFNI × 0.30)/12]

in which,

“AMR” is the average market rent for a rental unit of an appropriate size and type for the household in the service manager’s service area determined as described in paragraphs 3 and 4, and

“AFNI” is the adjusted family net income of the household determined as described in paragraph 6.

2. The use of a percentage greater than 80 per cent is allowed in the formula set out in paragraph 1.

3. The standards for determining the size and type of rental unit appropriate for the size and composition of the household are the same as the service manager’s occupancy standards established under section 43 of the Act for households receiving rent-geared-to-income assistance.

4. The average market rent for a rental unit referred to in paragraph 3 in the service manager’s service area is determined as follows:

i. Subject to subparagraph ii, if the service area is a service area for which there are CMHC average market rent data that are posted on the Ministry’s website at the time of the calculation of the benefit, the average market rent for the rental unit is the average market rent, as shown in the posted CMHC average market rent data, for such a rental unit in the service manager’s area.

ii. If the service area is a service area for which there are no CMHC average market rent data posted on the Ministry’s website at the time of the calculation of the benefit or if the service manager is of the view that the average rent in the relevant local housing market in its service area is higher than the posted CMHC average market rent data, the average market rent for the rental unit is the average market rent for such a rental unit in the relevant local housing market in its service area as determined by the service manager for the purposes of this subparagraph.

5. For the purposes of paragraph 4,

“CMHC average market rent data” means the average market rent data by rental market area as determined by the rental market survey conducted annually by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation.

6. The adjusted family net income of a household is determined by adding the net income of each member of the household, excluding individuals who are in full-time attendance at a recognized educational institution.

7. For the purposes of paragraph 6,

“recognized educational institution” means any of the following:

i. a school, as defined in the Education Act,

ii. a university,

iii. a college of applied arts and technology established under the Ontario Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology Act, 2002,

v. a private school, as defined in the Education Act, for which a notice of intention to operate has been submitted to the Ministry of Education in accordance with that Act.

8. For the purposes of the initial calculation of the amount of the benefit, the net income of a member of a household for the purposes of paragraph 6 is, at the sole discretion of the service manager, either one of the following:

i. the net income amount for the member indicated on the latest notice of assessment issued under the Income Tax Act (Canada) for the member’s most recent taxation year that ended before the application is considered, adjusted as follows, or, if no notice of assessment has been issued, the amount that would appear on the net income line had the notice of assessment been issued, adjusted as follows:

A. by subtracting from that amount, any payments from a registered disability savings plan received by the member in that taxation year, and any payment of a portable housing benefit received by the member in that taxation year, and

B. by adding to that amount, any payments from a registered disability savings plan repaid by the member in that taxation year, or

ii. the amount that best approximates the member’s net income for the 12-month period beginning on the first day of the month following the month in which the application is considered, calculated and adjusted by the service manager in the same manner as the amount referred to in subparagraph i based on the service manager’s projections of the member’s income and deductions for that period.

9. For the purposes of the calculation of the amount of the benefit on an annual review referred to in paragraph 1 of section 5 of this Schedule, the net income of a member of a household for the purposes of paragraph 6 of this subsection is the following:

i. the net income amount for the member indicated on the latest notice of assessment issued under the Income Tax Act (Canada) for the member’s most recent taxation year that ended before the beginning of the month in which the review is to be conducted, adjusted as follows, or, if no notice of assessment has been issued, the amount that would appear on the net income line had the notice of assessment been issued, adjusted as follows:

A. by subtracting from that amount, any payments from a registered disability savings plan received by the member in that taxation year, and any payment of a portable housing benefit received by the member in that taxation year, and

B. by adding to that amount, any payments from a registered disability savings plan repaid by the member in that taxation year.

10. For the purposes of the calculation of the amount of the benefit on a review referred to in paragraph 4 or 5 of section 5 of this Schedule, the net income of a member of a household for the purposes of paragraph 6 of this subsection is the following:

i. the amount that best approximates the member’s net income for the 12-month period beginning on the first day of the month following the month in which the review is conducted, calculated and adjusted by the service manager in the same manner as the amount referred to in paragraph 9 based on the service manager’s projections of the member’s income and deductions for that period.

11. For the purposes of the initial calculation of the amount of the benefit payable in respect of a household or the calculation of that amount on an annual review referred to in paragraph 1 of section 5 of this Schedule, the service manager,

i. verifies the net income of a member of the household for the taxation year referred to in subparagraph 8 i or 9 i, as applicable,

A. if possible, by means of the latest notice of assessment issued to the member under the Income Tax Act (Canada) for that taxation year, or

B. if the notice of assessment is not available, by using the verification methods developed by the service manager to verify the net income of a member, and

ii. verifies any payments from a registered disability savings plan received or repaid by a member of the household in the taxation year referred to in subparagraph 8 i or 9 i, as applicable,

A. if possible, by means of the latest information available to the member from the Canada Revenue Agency in respect of that taxation year, or

B. if the information is not available, by using the verification methods developed by the service manager to verify any payments from a registered disability savings plan received or repaid by a member.

12. The use of bands of adjusted family net income is allowed for the purposes of facilitating the calculation of the benefit payable in respect of a household with an adjusted family net income that falls within the range of a band, if the bands of adjusted family net income meet the following conditions:

i. the bands are established so that they cover all levels of adjusted family net income and all sizes of rental units and do not overlap,

ii. subject to paragraph 13, the mid-point of each band is the adjusted family net income that results in a benefit equal to the amount determined by using the formula set out in paragraph 1, and

iii. subject to paragraph 13, the lowest point of the band is the adjusted family net income that results in a benefit that is not less than the amount determined by using the formula set out in paragraph 1, except that instead of multiplying the adjusted family net income by 0.30, the adjusted family net income is multiplied by 0.35.

13. For the purposes of the formula referred to in subparagraphs 12 ii and iii, the use of a percentage greater than 80 per cent is allowed if it is applied for the purposes of both subparagraphs.

14. If the method described in paragraph 12 is used, the amount of the benefit payable in respect of a household whose adjusted family net income falls within a band of adjusted family net income is the amount determined on the basis of the adjusted family net income that is at the mid-point of the band.

15. If the amount calculated in respect of a household as set out in paragraph 1 or 14 exceeds the applicable maximum amount described in subsection (2), the amount of the benefit payable in respect of the household is equal to that maximum amount.

16. If the amount calculated in respect of a household as set out in paragraph 1 or 14 is less than $10, the amount of the benefit payable in respect of the household is equal to zero.

(2) The maximum amount of the benefit payable in respect of a household that is referred to in paragraph 15 of subsection (1) is determined as follows:

1. The maximum amount is the amount calculated using the following formula:

X% AMR – RGI indexed minimum rent

in which,

“X%” is the percentage the service manager used in respect of the household for the purposes of the formula set out in paragraph 1 of subsection (1) or for the purposes of the formula referred to in subparagraphs 12 ii and iii of subsection (1), as applicable,

“AMR” is the average market rent for a rental unit of an appropriate size and type for the household in the service manager’s service area determined as described in paragraphs 3 and 4 of subsection (1), and

“RGI indexed minimum rent” is the minimum geared-to-income rent determined under subsection 2 (3) or (4), as applicable, of Ontario Regulation 316/19 (Determination of Geared-to-Income Rent under Section 50 of the Act) made under the Act at the time of the service manager’s determination of the household’s benefit.

2. Despite paragraph 1, if the member of the household who has been selected to receive the benefit on behalf of the household receives an amount payable for shelter under subsection of 42 (2) of Ontario Regulation 134/98 (General), made under that the Ontario Works Act, 1997, or if that member is a member of a benefit unit that receives an amount payable for shelter under that subsection, the maximum amount is the amount by which the actual cost of shelter, as determined under subsection 42 (1) of that regulation, exceeds the amount payable for shelter under subsection 42 (2) of that regulation.

3. Despite paragraph 1, if the member of the household who has been selected to receive the benefit on behalf of the household receives an amount payable for shelter under subsection of 31 (2) of Ontario Regulation 222/98 (General), made under the Ontario Disability Support Program Act, 1997, or if that member is a member of a benefit unit that receives an amount payable for shelter under that subsection, the maximum amount is the amount by which the actual cost of shelter, as determined under subsection 31 (1) of that regulation, exceeds the amount payable for shelter under subsection 31 (2) of that regulation.

Conditions for monthly benefit referred to in s. 20.1 (b)

1. (1) Financial assistance referred to in clause 20.1 (b) is financial assistance that meets the following conditions:

1. The financial assistance is provided by a service manager,

2. The financial assistance is not funded under an agreement with the Crown in right of Canada or in right of Ontario, or an agency of either of them.

3. The amount of the financial assistance has been determined within the preceding 12-month period before the assistance is provided.

4. In the case where no member of the household receives an amount payable for shelter under subsection 42 (2) of Ontario Regulation 134/98 (General) made under the Ontario Works Act, 1997 or under subsection 31 (2) of Ontario Regulation 222/98 (General) made under the Ontario Disability Support Program Act, 1997,

i. the portion of the monthly rent that is not defrayed or reduced does not, at the time the assistance is determined, exceed the amount determined in accordance with subsection (2) of this section, or

5. In the case where a member of the household receives an amount payable for shelter under subsection 42 (2) of Ontario Regulation 134/98 (General) made under the Ontario Works Act, 1997 or under subsection 31 (2) of Ontario Regulation 222/98 (General) made under the Ontario Disability Support Program Act, 1997, the portion of the monthly rent that is not defrayed or reduced does not, at the time the assistance is determined, exceed the sum of all amounts payable to members of the household for shelter under subsection 42 (2) of Ontario Regulation 134/98 or subsection 31 (2) of Ontario Regulation 222/98.

(2) The amount referred to in subparagraph 4 i of subsection (1) is determined as follows:

1. Calculate the amount using the following formula:

(AFNI × 0.30)/12

in which,

“AFNI” is the adjusted family net income of the household determined as described in paragraph 2.

2. For the purposes of the definition of “AFNI” in paragraph 1, the adjusted family net income of a household is determined by adding the net income of each member of the household, excluding individuals who are in full-time attendance at a recognized educational institution as defined in paragraph 7 of subsection 4 (1) of Schedule 4.1.

3. For the purposes of paragraph 2, the net income of a member of a household is, at the sole discretion of the service manager, either one of the following:

i. The net income amount for the member indicated on the latest notice of assessment issued under the Income Tax Act (Canada) for the member’s most recent taxation year that ended before the amount of financial assistance is determined, adjusted as follows, or, if no notice of assessment has been issued, the amount that would appear on the net income line had the notice of assessment been issued, adjusted by,

A. subtracting from that amount, any payments from a registered disability savings plan received by the member in that taxation year, and any payment of financial assistance referred to in clause 20.1 (b) that was included in the member’s net income in that taxation year, and

B. adding to that amount, any payments from a registered disability savings plan repaid by the member in that taxation year.

ii. The amount that best approximates the member’s net income for the 12-month period beginning on the first day of the month following the month in which the amount of financial assistance is determined, calculated and adjusted by the service manager in the same manner as the amount referred to in subparagraph i based on the service manager’s projections of the member’s income and deductions for that period.
