- Those Who Are Automatically Eligible for Services and
Supports
Some people who were receiving services and supports under the
Developmental Services Act or who were on waiting lists for services are
automatically considered as eligible for supports and services under the
Social Inclusion Act. On December 14 2012, Ontario Regulation 414/12 was
passed which made the following individuals eligible for services and
supports under the Social Inclusion Act.
Adults who:
- were receiving Passport Program funding as of April 1, 2012;
- transitioned from Special Services at Home to the Passport Program on
April 1, 2012; - were on the Special Services at Home waitlist as of March 31, 2012; or
- applied and were found eligible for adult services and supports under the
Developmental Services Act between January 1, 2011 and June 30, 2011,
and began to receive support or were waitlisted for support during that
time.
Children who:
- are receiving Special Services at Home and turned 18 by March 31,
2013; - turned 18 between April 1, 2012 and March 31, 2013 and were on a
waiting list for Special Services at Home before they turn 18.^30
