Expert flags potential for dental-care clawbacks as result of federal program
A University of Calgary economist warns a new federal dental benefit for children could open families up to the potential for “clawbacks” if they don’t spend all the money on their kids’ teeth.
The government faced an onslaught of criticism from opposition parties when some Canadians unexpectedly had to pay back thousands of dollars because they were given more than they qualified for. Tedds said many low-income families already qualify for provincial dental coverage and may not use all the money they get from the federal government. Others may lose their receipts, or use the money for other pressing needs.
“I would call that a lack of clarity,” said Dr. Carlos Quiñonez, vice dean and director of Schulich Dentistry at Western University, who has been consulted by the federal government.
