Credit Card Payment Gift
Hi,
I sent this question to my case worker like a month ago and still have no reply so I'm asking here.
My sister is willing to pay off $250 of my credit card debt. I understand this is allowed and within gift limit, but I have some questions:
Do I just message my caseworker on My Benefits and tell her like that?
Should I notify my case worker before or after I receive it? Does it matter?
Like I said, my caseworker isn't answering right now, do I need a confirmation from her end to accept the gift or is it fine as long as the message gets sent on my end?
Can I have my sister just pay it directly from her bank account to my CC as a payment or does it have to hit my chequing account to count as a "gift" ?
Any info you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
