177.84. In case of failure to comply with an obligation provided for in section 177.83, the Minister may reduce the basic income by $500 per month as of 1 November following, for so long as the failure of compliance continues.
Where a reduction would result in the basic income being reduced below 50% of the amount to which the adult would have been entitled without the failure of compliance, the reduction imposed is fixed at 50%.
The amounts corresponding to the reductions are nonetheless paid without interest to a recipient who remedies the failure of compliance not later than 31 March of the following year.
