When a person receives their monthly financial assistance payment via direct bank deposit or traditional cheque, they will receive a receipt.  This form – a cheque stub, essentially – lists your name, address, and identification number, and below this is information on how the pay was calculated; a basic ledger sheet.  The total gross amount that you are eligible for is actually arrived at by adding two separate sections called Basic Needs, and Shelter.  Deductions are taken from the total of this amount, and what is left over is what you are expected to live on.
