NDP calls for end to benefit clawback on income assistance payments | CBC News
The party’s community services critic, Susan Leblanc, raised the case of a constituent during question period on Thursday. The woman has one dependent child and the family receives Canada Pension Plan (CPP) benefits. Part of that benefit payment is specifically designated for the child.
But Leblanc said under the province’s income support program, all of the benefit is counted against the family’s payment, including the amount designated for the child.
