Change to Ontario's system ends spouce in the house Changes to Ontario's welfare system, an- nounced by Community and Social Services Minister John Sweeney and Attorney S,Ler et a an Scotx Will, i an end to the con- troverslous°""e nffie'house" ruin'Y"- April 1, 1987. Under the revised system, a sole support parent will not lose eligibility for public assistance, simply for sharing living quarters with a person of the opposite sex. "It's time to move away from intrusive in- vestigations into private conduct, towards a system which looks at the objective needs of sole support parents", said Mr. Sweeney. "We have been listening to and working with women's groups, advocates for welfare recipients and other interested parties. Now our government is committed to establishing new eligibility criteria for sole support parents in need of public sistance". he government's commitment to move the new system follows the settlement of Charter challenges brought by the Women's Legal Education and Action Fund. The challenges were to have been heard this fall. "I am delighted that we have been able to resolve these Charter challenges in a way which avoids the expense and uncertainty of litigation, and which permits a structured and orderly movement to a more pro- gressive and just system of income support for sole support parents", Attorney General Scott said. In general terms, the government pro- poses to move towards a standard which would maintain eligibility for a sole support parent unless that parent resides with another person who: provides economic support for the parent or his or her depen- dent children and accepts parental respon- sibility for the children; or has a legal 1/10 port Term BEST SATES INVESTMENTS FINANCIAL CENTRE, GOOERICH 5242773 1.800265.5503 PECK APPLIANCES "IN THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN VARN " NUM CA= ZSALES°& SERUM b VACUUM CLEANERS (Sales & Service to Most Makes) • FM COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS (For Farm & Business) • WHIRLPOOL APPLIANCES • WOODS FREEZERS • CENTRAL VACUUM SYSTEMS • WHIRLPOOL and SHARP MICROWAVES • GIFTS & MANY MORE ITEMS VARNA, ONT. 482-7103 CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1986—Page E•A Since prices are continually rising we have discontinued the use of a full-time salesman lv in the CLINTON area.

This criteria are not meant to disqualify parents w o are only receiving financial support or cht dEitre' rssiStJtrice-r1rrtid---• - sional or insignificant kind. This criteria will serve to determine the circumstances in which a sole support parent is eligible for benefits. Social Assistance programs also take financial need into consideration to determine the amount of assistance which should be pro- vided. In regard to financial need, the government also intends to address the issue of whether and how the assets and in- come of someone living with the sole sup- port parent should be taken into account in assessing the parent's financial need. The Social Assistance Review Committee chaired by George Thomson, will be asked to. comment upon this new policy direction and propose a framework for its implemen- tation. The Committee is expected to res- pond by November, 1986. In addition to the changes outlined above, the government is making interim changes in the regulations governing the availability of family benefits. These changes will take account of recent decisions of the Divisional Court of Ontario. • Under the interim changes, a sole support parent will not be ruled ineligible because of a relationship with a person of the opposite sex unless the two persons reside together in a relationship which can be considered "spousal". Economic support will be considered essential to a spousal relationship. Social and familial elements will be considered as well, but the Ministry will no longer in- vestigate the sexual and conjugal aspects of the relationship.
