-For claimants with children and low family incomes, there is a family supplement that could raise their benefit rate to a maximum of 80 percent. Low-income families are defined as those with a combined annual income of less than $25,921. Under s 16, if the claimants meet the criteria, one parent may be entitled to receive the family supplement. To determine eligibility, s 16(2) states that eligibility for the Child Tax Credit will be used. This links eligibility to fluctuations in the rate of inflation. Section 34 of the ''EI Regulations'' provides a more detailed breakdown of eligibility and benefits.
