Recipients who are moving on reserve and have received the Monthly Nutritional Supplement MNS from the ministry may request that their MNS information be released to Indigenous Services Canada ISC and the British Columbia Aboriginal Network on Disability Society BCANDS , for the purposes of a file review to confirm their eligibility for the ISC MNS.

If there is sufficient evidence on file to determine that the recipient continues to meet the eligibility criteria to receive the approved supplement s , assign a new review date and add a review completion note.

Note: When continued eligibility for MNS is confirmed, no action is required by regional field staff. In cases where it is determined that updated medical information is required to confirm ongoing eligibility, create a review Service Request SR. Generate and send a review letter with a new MNS application form HR to the recipient requesting that the form be completed as required and returned to their Employment and Assistance Office EAO within 45 days.

Have a medical practitioner, nurse practitioner or registered dietitian complete and sign Part C of the HR Scan into the SR for HA. As HA does not require the originals, retain the original documents. Adjudicate the new application to determine if the recipient continues to meet the eligibility criteria for the MNS.

Once the benefit lines have been removed, update the corresponding MNS field s on the SD More Info tab. If the new application is not received within the requested timeframe, eligibility for the previously approved supplements will not continue beyond the review date.

Notify the client in writing of the discontinuance of their MNS and HA will remove the MNS allowance codes.
