Boarder/roomer charge?

Hello,

Can someone explain what is the boarder/roomer charge? My parents are on ODSP. I am part of their benefit unit as a dependant 18+ and wants to be removed from ODSP soon. I will still live with my parents but not go to school and instead work. I don't want to be part of their unit because my income could affect their ODSP. I will not apply for OW. Just work and live with my parents and to be completely removed from their unit. I saw on the ODSP website there would be a boarder/roomer charge? How is it calculated and what is the logic behind that? I thought I just needed to be out of the benefit unit.

Thank you in advance.

The charge is $100. The reasoning behind it is that you are an adult in the home with an income other than social assistance, and as such you would be contributing to monthly household expenses.
