The same applies if eligibility for such an allowance ceases but the adult or family remains ineligible under a last resort financial assistance program because of eligibility for another such allowance, because of work income or sums received as benefits to compensate for the loss of employment income that are paid by the Government of Canada under a program established following the declaration of a public health emergency or a Canada Recovery Benefit related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In those cases, the independent adult or the family is eligible to receive dental and pharmaceutical services and, if applicable, the special benefits referred to in the second paragraph of section 48, according to the period and on the conditions set out in the new provision that applies, regardless of the time elapsed.
