Such persons must also file a short form statement in the cases prescribed by regulation, and a complete statement whenever the Minister considers it necessary, but not more often than once per 12-month period, to ascertain the persons’ eligibility for a benefit or the eligibility of their family, or to determine the amount of the assistance to be granted. The statements must be filed in the manner determined by the Minister.

The Minister may cease to pay financial assistance if a statement is not filed within the prescribed time limit, unless the recipient proves that timely filing was impossible.
