Two-Year Financial Independence

Last updated on June 22, 2023

Overview

As of January 1, 2020, regulation change OIC # 705 (B.C. Reg. 270/2019) removed the former two-year financial independence eligibility requirement. Applicants are no longer required to demonstrate that they have been financially independent for at least two consecutive years prior to applying for assistance.
