204. As of 1 July 2007, for the purposes of the Social Assistance Program and the Social Solidarity Program, a child in respect of whom custody is shared under an order or agreement that sets the annual custody arrangements at less than 40% is an adult’s dependant if, on 30 June 2007, the adult was a recipient under either program or was eligible to receive dental and pharmaceutical services pursuant to section 48 and had a dependent child for whom annual custody arrangements provided for less than 40% custody.
However, on 1 July 2007, if the annual custody arrangements provide for less than 20% custody, the amount of the dependent child adjustments provided for in this Regulation that apply to the child, except the adjustment in section 68, is determined by multiplying the amount by the custody percentage.
This section continues to apply so long as the adult is, without interruption, a recipient of a last resort financial assistance program or is eligible to receive dental and pharmaceutical services pursuant to section 48, and so long as the adult shares custody of a child under an order or an agreement that sets the annual custody arrangements at less than 40% custody.
