Are you a Sixties Scoop Survivor? The deadline to submit a claim has been extended to November 28, 2019.
Those who missed the August 30, 2019 deadline for submitting and individual payment application are able to submit a claim before November 28, 2019.
The Federal Government of Canada and certain survivors of the Sixties Scoop have reached a settlement of class action lawsuits that provides compensation for certain survivors of the Sixties Scoop.
Late claims will be accepted until ninety (90) days after the Individual Payment Application Deadline where there has been undue hardship or exceptional circumstances.
Complete and submit the form to explain the undue hardship or exceptional circumstances which resulted in you missing the deadline along with your Individual Payment Application before November 28, 2019. The court-appointed Reconsideration Officer will decide whether your claim can be accepted and you will be advised of his decision.
The settlement provides a payment to any registered Indian or person eligible to be registered or Inuit person who was adopted or made a permanent ward and was placed in the care of non-Indigenous foster or adoptive parents in Canada between January 1, 1951 and December 31, 1991.
