What happens when my youngest child turns 19?

You are no longer eligible for the assistance, unless this child is still considered dependent.

Under the Rental Assistance Program, dependent status is considered when a child is:
  • under 19 years of age; or
  • under 25 and registered in full-time school, university or vocational institute which provides a recognized diploma, certificate or degree.
  • of any age who, because of mental or physical infirmity, is accepted as a dependent for income tax purposes.
