===Eliminated the two-year financial independence test for all welfare applicants=== | |||
Prior to January 1, 2020, many people were required to show that they had been financially independent for two years before accessing welfare benefits. | |||
As of January 1, 2020, regulation change OIC # 705 (B.C. Reg. 270/2019) removed the two-year financial independence eligibility requirement. Applicants are no longer required to demonstrate that they have been financially independent for at least two consecutive years prior to applying for assistance. | |||
