May 9, 2016 Good
Day:
I’m sending out a reminder regarding monthly declarations. Each month,
in order to receive a Social Assistance Cheque, you are required to fill
out, fully, a declaration slip, which Megan has at reception and it has to
be handed in by the 15th of each month.
This will be the only notice regarding this, all declarations are being
recorded and date stamped by Megan, and the 15th, at the end of the day,
will be the only time I will be grabbing the declarations.
Declarations are required by ALL clients, whether you’re an employable
single, family, couple, PPMB, or PWD.
If your declaration is handed in after the 15th, there will be a wait period
of up to a week after cheque day.
There’s a sign behind Megan’s desk that says the following:
Absolutely
No alcohol or drugs will be tolerated when the SA cheques are
issued or the cheque will be held until further notice.
Mandate for declaration slips 15th of every month.
By Order of Chief & Council
