1.
Cases enrolled includes all cases enrolled for the entire fiscal year that had a regular payment due each month.
2.
Nova Scotia 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 both jurisdictions, about 1% of cases each month report a payment, or payments, being made in a previous month.
3.
In Nova Scotia, cases in compliance were slightly underestimated in November and December 2005, which may impact the results for 2005/2006.
Note(s):
Percentages may not total 100% due to rounding. Interjurisdictional support order-out cases are excluded.
