Section 30 Disposition versions

1989-08-01

30. Independent adults and the members of a family must exercise their rights or avail themselves of the benefit to which they are entitled under another Act where the exercise of such rights or the realization of such benefit would affect their eligibility for benefits under a program or would reduce the amount thereof.

In the case of an adult who is not deemed to receive parental contribution under the second paragraph of section 14, the Minister is subrogated by operation of law in the rights of the adult in proceedings to fix or vary support payments, unless the adult has elected to exercise his remedy for support; the Minister may also exercise the rights of any other creditor for the purpose of fixing or varying support payments if he is of the opinion that the exercise of such rights is endangered by the situation of the creditor.
