6.2 - Medicals

For the following clients/applicants living in the parental home who have been determined to be eligible, may receive the Transitional Assistance rate based on the criteria below, and upon receipt of a Medical Report:

• Single person households 19-54 years of age 
• Two person households  19-54 years of age 

For these households, one member must have a Medical Report stating he/she is unable to work for six months or more; or is seven months or more pregnant.

Through the use of this form, the physician assesses the individual's health. Social Development assesses the impact of the medical condition on the individual's ability to work. The client's ability to participate in training programs has no impact on the rate of assistance.

For clients receiving the Transitional Assistance rate because of a Medical Report, if subsequent Medical Reports are for less than six months, the Transitional Assistance rate will remain in effect if there is no break in the time period covered by the reports.

Clients may be entitled to the Transitional Assistance rate for reasons other than the Medical Report - see Rate Determination.

Clients presenting a proper medical report stating they are more than seven months pregnant, may be  eligible for assistance from the parental home as of the month they became seven (7) months pregnant.
 

Any client/applicant aged 18 years or older who is certified by the Medical Advisory Board qualifies for assistance in the Blind, Deaf or Disabled category.

A Long-Term Health Needs client may be eligible for assistance from the parental home.
 

A Determined social Needs client may be eligible for assistance at the parental home.
