1.
This is the number of cases enrolled for all or part of the fiscal year. This figure may be undercounted, as it does not include non-interjurisdictional support order cases that become interjurisdictional support order-outs during the year.
2.
Re-enrolments are cases that were not enrolled in the Maintenance Enforcement Program at the beginning of the fiscal year, but re-enrolled at some point during the year. Cases that were newly enrolled, withdrawn then re-enrolled all in the same year are categorized as re-enrolments only.
3.
Closed cases are cases that terminated or withdrew from the Maintenance Enforcement Program during the fiscal year and did not re-enrol.
4.
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.
5.
In Quebec, cases enrolled in the annual tables include direct payment cases. Direct payments are defined as payments made by the payor to the recipient which do not involve the maintenance enforcement program. Other annual tables are tables 3, 4, and 16.
6.
In the Northwest Territories, totals for closed cases and cases administered are undercounted.
Note(s):
Interjurisdictional support order-out cases are excluded.
