So here in Ontario, sibsidy goes by income. You literally have to make nothing to get it. My friend took on 2 kids from her current boyfriend. They have only been dating about 7 months now.
The mother left the 2 kids, and ran off. Now I wouldn't after 7 months fully take care of these kids (paying for them and everything). The guy is mooching off her, he moved him and his 2 kids into her house. She takes care of them, and pays for them.
They had subsidy daycare which they supposeable have 2 incomes over $60,000 a year, many times with subsidy you need under $15,000 year combinded.
The government found out, and revoked it. So now they need to pay for it, she was posting it all over facebook. I dont see the issue, when they make a lot more than the average person. They are not bad off, they just need to spend the money less.
She is always posting how they have no money, and people are giving them things. I just roll my eyes I will not give her a penny. She just irresponsible that is all, I just scrolled past the post.
But why should she get subsidy because the mother left the kids? The father is there with a good job, and raising them. She has taken picture of the kids wearing all name brand clothing, brand new toys, and better food than most people can eat. It's $50 a day for daycare otherwise find a private one don't expect everything handed to you.

I don't understand how she qualifies at all for a subsidy if she is not the mother, is not married to the father, and doesn't have legal custody of the kids. She must be getting it in the father's name.

As far as I know its been about 4 months since they moved into her house. I doubt she has custody of them or anything. But I do believe because he now legally lives there as well as them, her income applies. He has a decent job, and most likely that alone would disqualify them to begin with with her added income. The mother got it because she didn't work and was on welfare.

@ricki_911 Is the father married to the mother of the kids.......if so, the new girlfriend can't be considered his common-law wife, so no rights where the kids are concerned. And you are right, her income would be a factor re benefits, but man it galls me that two working 'parents' would even consider benefits of any kind. It makes it so much harder for single mothers who legitimately need the help. I know. Been there, done that ... and in Ontario!

@sparkofinsanity No, they were not married. WHat she told me was that the mother left the kids, and moved. I am sure there is more to the store, she speaks poorly of the mother. I can't see this situation lasting, especially after such a short period of time. I never saw her taking on someone kids, and paying for them like this. I do think she was desperate and just wanted a relationship. She says she's so happy, yet I said if he leaves she's basically paying for these kids, and then she says they have no money (they make 4x what I do and I can still support myself). She tends to expect things handed to her, and the guy as far as I am aware he didnt do too much with the kids until recently.
But I agree why should they get subsidy. She took the kids on, and yet expects the same benefits. The government doesnt care where the mother is, or who is helping. They make enough together to support the kids. She has been using subsidy up until now, which I am shocked. But again if its handed to you, and you expect it.
She cant see that they use both their incomes, and the mother has no part in this. They dont care about the mother, or what happened.
