To maintain eligibility for income support benefits a learner must continue to meet eligibility criteria.

POLICY

Learners maintain eligibility by:

• maintaining academic progress
• maintaining acceptable attendance
• complying with training provider rules
• maintaining full-time status. Learners must continue to meet enrolment requirements for full-time study. If a learner withdraws from courses so they are no longer attending full-time, their full-time funding is terminated.
• complying with Child Support Services requirements if applicable

Income support benefits are impacted by the following:

• Withdrawal
• Program extensions

   

• Switching training providers/programs – funding is terminated, as the learner is no longer attending the program that income support benefits were approved for. A new Income Support Application for Learners must be completed for the new training provider/program.
