Excludes those cases that only have other types
of payments due (scheduled arrears, event-driven payments, and fees, costs
and penalties).
Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, Alberta,
Yukon and the Northwest Territories report detailed microdata through the
Survey of Maintenance Enforcement Programs. The other jurisdictions in the
table report aggregate data through the Maintenance Enforcement Survey.
Nova Scotia, British Columbia and Yukon maintain
a policy of allowing direct payments to be made and received by their clientele
throughout the case duration, and since most of these direct payments are
not reported until after the survey data are collected, some payors are reported
as not having paid, even though they actually have. In Nova Scotia and Yukon,
about 1% of cases each month report a payment, or payments, being made
in a previous month.
In certain cases if the program is certain
to recover the sum from the payor, Quebec legislation allows for the Maintenance
Enforcement Program to provide an advance to the recipient to help ensure
regularity of payments. Advances are considered to be support payments and
must be repaid by the payor.
Note(s):
Interjurisdictional support order-out cases are excluded. Cases administered
include cases registered for at least part of the year, i.e. cases enrolled
and cases terminated. The amount due represents the total regular amount due
for the year.
