 made. (1.1) [Repealed, 2018, c. 12, s. 372] Calculation of minimum qualifying period in case of disability pension and disabled contributor’s child’s benefit (2) For the purposes of paragraph (1)(b) and, if a disability pension is payable to a contributor, paragraph (1)(e), (a) a contributor is deemed to have made base contributions for not less than the minimum qualifying period only if the contributor has made base contributions during the contributor’s contributory period on earnings that are not less than the contributor’s basic exemption, calculated without regard to subsection 20(2), (i) for at least four of the last six calendar years included either wholly or partly in the contributor’s contributory period or, where there are fewer than six calendar years included either wholly or partly in the contributor’s contributory period, for at least four years, (i.1) for at least 25 calendar years included either wholly or partly in the contributor’s contributory period, of which at least three are in the last six calendar years included either wholly or partly in the contributor’s contributory period, or (ii) for each year after the month of cessation of the contributor’s previous disability benefit; and (b) the contributory period of a contributor shall be the period (i) commencing January 1, 1966 or when he reaches eighteen years of age, whichever is the later, and (ii) ending with the month in which he is determined to have become disabled for the purpose of paragraph (1)(b), but excluding (iii) any month that was excluded from the contributor’s contributory period under this Act or under a provincial pension plan by reason of disability, and (iv) in relation to any benefits payable under this Act for any month after December, 1977, any month for which the contributor was a family allowance recipient in a year for which the contributor’s base unadjusted pensionable earnings are less than the basic exemption of the contributor for the year, calculated without regard to subsection 20(2). Proration — late applications for disability pensions (2.1) For the purpose of determining the minimum qualifying period of a contributor referred to in subparagraph (1)(b)(ii), the basic exemption for the year in which they would have been considered to have become disabled, and in which the base unadjusted pensionable earnings are less than the relevant Year’s Basic Exemption for that year, is an amount equal to that proportion of the amount of that Year’s Basic Exemption that the number of months that would not have been excluded from the contributory period by reason of disability is of 12. Family allowance — late applications for disability pensions (2.2) A contributor referred to in subparagraph (1)(b)(ii) is deemed to have made base contributions for not less than the minimum qualifying period for the purpose of subparagraph (1)(b)(i) if (a) they became disabled in a month in which they were a family allowance recipient; (b) in the year in which they became disabled (i) the child in respect of which they were a family allowance recipient reached seven years of age, and (ii) their base unadjusted pensionable earnings were less than their basic exemption, calculated without regard to subsection 20(2); and (c) in the absence of this subsection, a disability pension would not be payable to them, but had they become disabled in the year immediately before the year in which they became disabled, a disability pension would have been payable to them under subparagraph (1)(b)(ii). Calculation for other supplementary benefits (3) For the purposes of paragraphs (1)(c), (d) and (f), a contributor is deemed to have made base contributions for not less than the minimum qualifying period only if the contributor has made base contributions during their contributory period (a) for at least one third of the total number of years included either wholly or partly within their contributory period, excluding from the calculation of that contributory perio
