Colleagues:
There was a half page ad in today’s Globe and Mail about this class action suit.
We are pleased to inform you that the Federal Court decision approving the settlement of this class proceeding became effective on March 19, 2024.
Later this year, Class Members who currently receive disability pensions directly from Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) will automatically receive settlement payments from VAC by direct deposit or cheque.
Estates, family members of deceased Class Members and other Class Members who do not currently receive disability pensions directly from VAC will be required to submit a Claim by March 19, 2025. Claims can be submitted at the administrator’s website:
veteranspensionsettlement.kpmg.ca

A dedicated call center has been established by the administrator to address general inquiries and help individuals complete the online claims form. Please call 1 (833) 839-0648. You may also visit the administrator’s FAQ page.
