Difference between revisions of "Factors That May Affect Welfare Eligibility (21:V)"

Applicants are not eligible for income assistance, PPMB assistance, or disability assistance if they or their adult dependant is on strike or locked out ([https://www.bclaws.gov.bc.ca/civix/document/id/complete/statreg/263_2002#section14 EAR, s 14] and [https://www.bclaws.gov.bc.ca/civix/document/id/complete/statreg/265_2002#section13 EAPWDR, s 13]). An applicant in this situation may, however, qualify for hardship assistance under [https://www.bclaws.gov.bc.ca/civix/document/id/complete/statreg/263_2002#section45 s 45 of the EAR] or [https://www.bclaws.gov.bc.ca/civix/document/id/complete/statreg/265_2002#section40 s 40 of the EAPWDR]. If a person is not on strike themselves but cannot go to work because their union is honouring another union's picket line, they can apply for income assistance.
