Ontario support deposits - I don't have kids
Hi friends,
Looking for a good suggestion.
Since the school strike started in Ontario I've been getting deposits in my bank account labelled 'suppforparents' and now 'suppforfamilies'. I don't know much about these programs but I know enough to say I don't qualify (don't have children), nor have I actually applied for them. My guess is someone accidentally used my banking information on their application and haven't been getting their payments as a result. In total I've received $240 for support for parents, and $250 for support for families. I tried calling their number and it's either been a busy tone, or the wait time is too long for me to wait in the middle of the day. I sent them an email and didn't receive a response. At first it wasn't a big deal because it was only $40, but now it's adding up to something substantial.
This isn't my money and I know where it came from, but I truly have no idea how to return it. Any ideas?
I was thinking of just keeping it in a separate savings account until one day the Ontario government might ask for it back.
Thanks
