Ontario Works | Effective Date: July 1, 2009 |
Topic: Income and Exemptions | Replaces: November 1, 2004 |
Subject: Canada Pension Assignments | Policy No. H.5.10. |
Authority OW Act: Sec. 7(1), 7(2), 7(3), 13, 16(1), 19(2) & OW Directives: 5.2
1. In most cases, an assignment is taken while a person is waiting for disability benefits to be confirmed and paid.
2. Benefits are assigned directly to Manitoulin-Sudbury District Services Board.
The assignment of benefits is accomplished through the completion and submission to the Canada Pension Plan, Form C.P.P. 1513, Consent to Deduction and Payment. The assignment must be accompanied by an “Authorization to Communicate information”
It is essential that the applicant completing the form be advised of the terms which apply with respect to the consent.
Each person must be told, therefore, that:
***Refer to Policy 5.8. Assignments Overview in this manual for the procedure regarding how assignments are handled.
The deduction is only made from the initial C.P.P. retroactive payment and cannot, therefore, exceed that amount. There will be no deduction from the regular monthly cheques issued after the initial C.P.P. retroactive payment.
The amount to be deducted from the C.P.P. Benefit for a month will not exceed the amount of Ontario Works granted for that month and no deduction will be made for the months that Ontario Works is not in pay.
Example:
A person is granted C.P.P. retroactive to January on May 1, at a monthly amount of $275. Ontario Works was granted, effective March 15, at $424 per month. The total amount of C.P.P. in arrears is $1100.
Although the person received $636 of Ontario Works, (1 ½ months at $424 per month), Manitoulin-Sudbury DSB is entitled to recover only $412.50, (1 ½ months at the C.P.P. rate of $275 per month). The participant is entitled to retain $687.50, ($1100 - $412.50).
Manitoulin-Sudbury DSB is expected to list the amount recovered, ($412.50 in this case), as income on Form 5 - Ontario Works Subsidy Claim.
