6.4. Single Parent Allowance (ECC)

The procedures in this section document how to grant and discontinue the Single Parent Allowance.

The staff member requests single parent allowance by submitting P.85 (Request for Change in Dependency Status) including all required supporting documentation. When the P.85 includes information in respect of financial assistance provided for a dependent child, you must first complete a Maintain Family Member PA (see procedure in this job aid under Modify or Discontinue Dependent Child) to enter the amount of financial assistance on the child’s record.

Use these procedures to:

• Grant Single Parent Allowance
• Grant Adjusted Single Parent Allowance
• Discontinue Single Parent Allowance
