Can the Student Care Centre (SCC) use the Start-Up Grant (SUG) deposit to pay the parent’s co-payment fees if they cannot afford it?

Question

Accepted Answer

No. The Start-Up Grant (SUG) deposit for a Student Care Centre (SCC) that administers Student Care Fee Assistance (SCFA) cannot be used to pay a parent’s co-payment fees in such a situation. The SUG deposit is meant to cover the parent's co-payment amount only in cases where the parent withdraws the child without providing at least one month's notice.
