Monthly Reporting Requirement
Overview
Effective: December 01, 2007
The Monthly Report Form (EIA0081) is also known as the "cheque stub" and is attached to computer generated cheques or the notifications of direct deposit that are delivered to clients according to the payment issue schedule, which is usually the last Wednesday of every month. For cheques that are printed in the office, generic or "blank" Monthly Report Forms are available and attached to the cheque.
Under the Employment and Assistance Act and Regulation, recipients of income assistance and hardship assistance are required to complete the Monthly Report Form (EIA0081) and submit it by the 5th of every month as a condition of ongoing eligibility. The cheque stub is a declaration of further need. In addition, recipients of income assistance and hardship assistance are required to report all income and any changes in circumstances on the cheque stub every month.
Under the Employment and Assistance for Persons with Disabilities Act and Regulation, recipients of disability assistance are required to report all and any changes in income and circumstances by the 5th of the month following the change.
While completion of the Monthly Report Form (EIA0081) is not a requirement for eligibility of disability assistance, it is to be completed in order to report changes in income and circumstances as outlined in this section.
All recipients of income assistance, hardship assistance, and disability assistance are required to report accurately and completely when required to do so.
For PWD clients who cannot submit a cheque stub, all reasonable effort will be taken to assist them in reporting.
Awareness of reporting obligations will reduce overpayments and sanctions in cases where inaccurate or incomplete reporting resulted in an overpayment.
