Income earned in the previous period of at least THREE MONTHS or, in the case of a self-employed worker, income attributed to such a period is excluded insofar as it CEASES.
Income due in respect of the month of cessation that ceased during that month is not considered in determining the assistance for the following month, as long as the type of income in question was earned for at least three consecutive months.
This measure also applies to earnings and other pecuniary benefits paid regularly, such as support payments or benefits from the CNESST, SAAQ or RRQ. However, the exclusion does not apply to family allowances paid pursuant to the Act respecting family benefits nor to the National Child Benefit Supplement (NCBS) paid by the federal government.
To process income that ceases, please refer to 5.6.6.
