The province announced today that it is investing over $400,000 in its income assistance payment to parents of children aged five to 18. The benefit has also been extended this year to include four-year-olds attending pre-primary this fall. Payments for children aged 13 to 18 will increase from $160 to $200 while those aged five to 12 will increase from $80 to $100 with payments expected by the end of the month. Children who turn four by the end of December and are eligible for pre-primary in the fall will now receive a $100 payment. There is no application required, according to the provincial government. In a release, Brendan Maguire, Minister of Community Services said the one-time payment “will help offset some of those (additional) costs for our clients, so they can focus on getting their children off to school.” 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail admin previous post Ernesto expected to track ‘well south’ of Nova Scotia: Canadian Hurricane Centre next post رضوان السيد يكتب عن: الاضطراب العربي بين الدول والتنظيمات You may also like جولي ولوبلان في فلوريدا للقاء ممثلين عن إدارة... 27 ديسمبر، 2024 Police investigate sudden death of Dartmouth man 27 ديسمبر، 2024 ‘Now’s the time’: As Canada ramps up housing,... 27 ديسمبر، 2024 ترامب يحثّ لاعب الهوكي واين غريتسكي للترشح لرئاسة... 26 ديسمبر، 2024 سمر ماكنتوش، أفضل رياضية كندية لِعام 2024 26 ديسمبر، 2024 مقاطعة كيبيك تنجح في الحفاظ على المهاجرين الجدد... 26 ديسمبر، 2024 إعانات عائلية تصل إلى 360 دولاراً في جزيرة... 26 ديسمبر، 2024 تعيين أول نائبة من إقليم نونافوت في مجلس... 26 ديسمبر، 2024 What to do in and around Halifax this... 26 ديسمبر، 2024 Buoyed by election win, Nova Scotia premier tones... 26 ديسمبر، 2024
