A-29.011, r. 2 - Regulation under the Act respecting parental insurance

Section 31 Disposition versions

2012-09-01

31. Despite the first paragraph of section 20 of the Act, the qualifying period of a person whose earnings are derived from a business or are obtained as a family-type resource or intermediate resource is the same year as the year in which the person’s benefit period begins if the person’s business is in its first calendar year of operation.

For a family-type resource or intermediate resource, the first calendar year of operation is that during which it is subject, for the first time, to an agreement signed under the Act respecting the representation of family-type resources and certain intermediate resources and the negotiation process for their group agreements (chapter R-24.0.2) or to a decision of the Minister of Health and Social Services made with the authorization of the Conseil du trésor pursuant to the Act respecting health services and social services (chapter S-4.2).

Despite the foregoing, if the insurable earnings obtained as a family-type resource or intermediate resource are received in the year following its obligation to one of the abovementioned texts, the first calendar year of operation is the year during which the insurable earnings are received.
