Mr. Speaker, I have a return to written question asked by Mr. Moses on March 12, 2013, regarding Income Support Program applications and payments.
1.
Number of approved income assistance applications for each community during fiscal years 2010-11, 2011-12, and 2012-13.
Later today, at the appropriate time, I will table “Income Assistance Distinct Cases and Expenditures,” which lists the number of approved applicants, also known as distinct cases, who received income assistance, by community, in fiscal years 2010-11, 2011-12, and 2012-13.
2. Number of income assistance applications that
were declined for each community during fiscal years 2010-11, 2011-12 and 2012-13.
Currently the department tracks only those applications approved for assistance. The number of declined applications is not available.
3. Total amount of Income Assistance Payments
per community for fiscal years 2010-11, 2011-12, and 2012-13.
The document “Income Assistance Distinct Cases and Expenditures” referred to earlier also provides income assistance expenditures by community for fiscal years 2010-11, 2011-12, and 2012-13.
4. Number of appeals by community for fiscal
years 2010-11, 2011-12, and 2012-13.
Later today, at the appropriate time, I will table “Income Assistance Appeals,” which provides the number of income assistance appeals held in the NWT, by community, in fiscal years 2010-11, 2011-12, and 2012-13.
