Household Definition
**For the purposes of assessment, a household is defined as up to 2 total adult spouses/partners and their legal dependants aged 17 and younger (dependants who are over the age of 17 will need to submit a separate application form with eligibility documents in their own name).
Anyone living within the same home as your family who does not fall under these parameters will not count towards your eligible household members and must apply independently/with their own household.
Calculating Household Income
To calculate total household income, add the total incomes (Line 15000) of you and your partner/spouse’s (if applicable) 2023 Notice of Assessments (NOA). You are eligible if your total household income is equal to or less than the amounts listed in the above tables for your number of eligible household members.
