The following are excluded:
- income earned by dependent children from PART-TIME EMPLOYMENT, weekend employment or during SCHOOL HOLIDAYS that is incidental to their studies;
- LOANS and SCHOLARSHIPS from a public or private plan (registered education savings plan type) received by dependent children as students;
- an ORPHANS' PENSION and BENEFITS for children of disabled contributors paid to dependent children aged 18 and over by:
- the Société de l’assurance automobile du Québec,
- the Commission des normes, de l'équité, de la santé et de la sécurité du travail,
- American Social Security, and
- under the Canada Pension Plan.
These benefits are paid to students only if they are in full-time attendance at an educational institution.
We consider that the incomes earned are incidental to studies and consequently excluded ONLY
if the time worked is inferior to the time spent on classes (hours of classes x 3).
Employment assistance benefits paid to a dependent child by Emploi-Québec as part of a training measure are totally excluded. They are considered as an income that is incidental to their studies.
Income replacement indemnities (employment insurance, CNESST, SAAQ) paid when a dependent child loses his or her work income are also excluded when this job income was considered as incidental to his or her studies and provided the child continues studying.
If the revenues are included in the calculation of his/her income, it is possible that the child be considered as dependent and consequently removed from the family size.
