Document Summary

R v. rogers (kimberley rogers) welfare fund . A resident of sudbury, rogers, was receiving standard ontario welfare benefits per month. From 1996 to 1999, she also received student loans from the ontario student assistance. When rogers first began her studies, receiving both welfare and student loans was entirely legal. But the practice was banned in 1996 by the progressive conservative government as part of its welfare reform legislation. The welfare office learned of her student loans, and ordered rogers to repay her benefits. Rogers was left with just each month. As well, she was facing criminal charges for welfare fraud. In 2001, rogers pleaded guilty to fraud to the ontario court of justice. Rogers, who was pregnant at the time of her trial, was sentenced to six months of house arrest, permitted to leave the house for medical, religious or shopping reasons.
