of Nunavut e-mail notification service.]
"IQALUIT, Nunavut (June
26, 2002) - Education Minister Peter Kilabuk today announced the government has
increased the exemption level for the amount of money that can be earned before
there are deductions from income support. Effective July 1, 2002, the earned income
exemption for working families on income support increases to $400 per month and
for
single people to $200. The old rates were $300 for families and $150 for individuals.
'In
response to the community consultations we conducted on the income support program,
we felt that the exemption levels did not reflect the needs in Nunavut,'said Minister
Kilabuk. The new exemption levels will continue to encourage people on income
support to seek and keep jobs.
'These increases are a part of the work we
are undertaking in reshaping the income support program to meet the needs and
concerns of Nunavummiut,' said Minister Kilabuk. Other improvements include a
greater focus on training opportunities for income support recipients and transition
benefits for those returning to work."
