The CIHR provisions were repealed as of 1 April 2010 (BC Reg 48/2010). '''However, these provisions still apply to families that include children who were approved under the old provision prior to 31 March 2010, or who filed their applications prior to 31 March 2010 and were subsequently approved''' under the old provision (see the Child in the Home of a Relative Transition Regulation). The following repealed sections contained key provisions dealing with Children in the Home of a Relative: EAR s 6; s 11(1)(b)(iv); s 27; s 29; s 33; s 34; s 34.1; 49; 50; 60; 61; 67; 67.1; 68; 71; 73; 74.01; 75; and Schedule A, s 11. | |||
== H. Method of Payment of Assistance == | |||
MSDSI’s standard method of payment is by direct deposit by Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) into the recipient’s bank account. | |||
Applicants can generally get an exemption where EFT payment is not appropriate for them. Such recipients typically receive their benefit cheque by picking it up from the MSDSI office. | |||
MSDSI also commonly pays recipients’ shelter allowances directly to their landlords. This is optional. | |||
== I. Lost or Stolen Cheques == | |||
Section 92 of the EAR and s 77 of the EAPWDR authorize the issuance of a replacement of an unendorsed assistance cheque as long as: | |||
*(a) in the case of theft, the matter has been reported to police; and | |||
*(b) in the case of loss or theft, the recipient | |||
**(i) makes a declaration of the facts; and | |||
*(ii) undertakes to promptly deliver the lost or stolen cheque to MSDSI if it is recovered. | |||
