Depending on the place of residence and whether or not the parents have offered to support the adult, various procedures are possible.
Parents are deemed to refuse to provide information about their income when they have officially indicated so or when, after the period of time given in the request for information sent to the parents, they have not provided information about their income. When this occurs, the parents are assumed to be refusing to provide information. Consequently, without this information, it is impossible to establish the amount of the parental contribution.
Depending on the place of residence and whether or not the parents have offered to support the adult, various procedures are possible.
ADULT LIVING WITH PARENTS
When an adult is living with his or her parents or returns to their home and they refuse to provide information about their income, it is assumed that the adult’s parents are able to support him or her. NO REFUSAL TO CONTRIBUTE IS THEN CONSIDERED TO EXIST AND ASSISTANCE IS DENIED OR CANCELLED. This situation is not interpreted as a refusal to contribute since the adult’s basic needs are considered to be covered. The situation will be re-assessed when the parents will provide the necessary information.
ADULT NOT LIVING WITH PARENTS
A person eligible for income assistance who does not meet the independence criteria is not subject to a parental contribution if they do not live with their parents.
They are subject to a parental contribution only if:
They have not demonstrated independence and live with at least one parent.
In this case, they must provide information regarding the situation and income of both parents.
