Claimants: Additional Information
: Compensation Payments
Compensation Payments
Compensation payments are possible only after the Administrator
receives a duly signed Full and Final Release from
the Approved Class Member.
The Administrator makes payments once a month on or
about the 18th calendar day. For more information about how
funds are disbursed to claimants, please consult the Payment
of Plan Disbursement to Approved Class Members Standard
Operating Procedure ("SOP").
Payments are made by electronic transfer ("direct
deposit") or by cheque. In accordance with
the Directions
to Pay Court Approved Protocol, cheques must always be
mailed to the home address of the claimant, with the exception
of cases where the Public Trustee is involved.
Opting for payment via direct deposit is recommended
since it eliminates:
- The risk of fraud and/or;
- Your bank imposing a 3 day hold-payment on a cheque and/or;
- Delays due to postal delivery.
Interest does not accrue on pre-set compensation payments.
Pre-set compensation payments are however subject to annual
adjustments based on the Canadian Pension Index.
For more information, please consult:
- Sections 7.02
and 7.04
of the Transfused HCV Plan (Schedule A), or
- Sections 7.02
and 7.04
of the Hemophiliac HCV Plan (Schedule B).
