Amending O. Reg. 134/98
(General)
Note: Since the end of 1998, Ontario Regulation 134/98 has been amended by Ontario Regulations 165/99, 170/99, 238/99, 32/00 and 46/00. Previous amendments are listed in the Table of Regulations in the Statutes of Ontario, 1998.
1. Section 36 of Ontario Regulation 134/98 is revoked and the following substituted:
36. (1) An administrator shall refuse to provide assistance to an applicant, and shall cancel the assistance provided to a recipient, if the applicant or recipient is a single person who has been convicted of an offence described in subsection (5) that was committed in whole or in part on or after April 1, 2000.
(2) An administrator shall refuse to include the amount determined under subsection (4) in the assistance to be provided to an applicant, and shall reduce the assistance provided to a recipient by the amount determined under subsection (4), if,
(a) the benefit unit of the applicant or recipient includes one or more dependants; and
(b) one or more of the members of the benefit unit have been convicted of an offence described in subsection (5) that was committed in whole or in part on or after April 1, 2000.
(3) Subsection (2) applies if the applicant or recipient is otherwise eligible for assistance.
(4) The amount referred to in subsection (2) is an amount equal to the sum of the budgetary requirements and benefits of each member of the benefit unit who has been convicted of an offence described in subsection (5) that was committed in whole or in part on or after April 1, 2000.
(5) This section and section 36.1 apply to an offence, whether under Ontario or federal legislation, in relation to the receipt of,
(a) assistance under the Act;
(b) income support under the Ontario Disability Support Program Act, 1997;
(c) benefits under the Family Benefits Act; or
(d) assistance under the General Welfare Assistance Act, which was, before its repeal, the Revised Statutes of Ontario, 1990, chapter G.6, as amended.
36.1 (1) Section 36, as it read immediately before April 1, 2000, continues to apply in respect of convictions for offences described in subsection 36 (5) that were committed in whole before that day.
(2) For greater certainty, where section 36, as it read immediately before April 1, 2000, applies in respect of convictions for offences that were committed in whole before that day and where section 36, as it reads on or after April 1, 2000, applies in respect of convictions for offences that were committed in whole or in part on or after that day, nothing prevents both provisions from being applied to a benefit unit, whether at different times or at the same time.
2. This Regulation comes into force on April 1, 2000.
