1.1. Where provisions of the first paragraph of section 516 of the Act respecting health services and social services (chapter S-4.2) are violated, the Minister may reduce, refuse or cease to grant an exemption by including in its calculation, the value of the rights, property or liquid assets on the date of renunciation, alienation or squandering, after subtracting the consideration received and, for each month that has passed since that date and during a period of no more than 2 years, the amount corresponding to the monthly subtraction set out in section 175 of the Individual and Family Assistance Regulation (chapter A-13.1.1, r. 1). A refusal or an omission by an adult or his representative to claim within a reasonable time assistance, a benefit or other advantage that he is entitled to demand prima facie and of whose existence he is informed of is deemed a renunciation of a right.
The first and second paragraphs do not apply to an adult user who is receiving, under a financial assistance program provided for in Chapter I, II, V or VI of Title II of the Individual and Family Assistance Act (chapter A-13.1.1), a benefit that has already been reduced, refused or terminated pursuant to section 175 of the Individual and Family Assistance Regulation.
