You may be supporting someone who could receive compensation from the Children's Special Allowance Settlement.
You do not need to determine whether they are eligible. Your role is to help them learn about the settlement and connect with the Claims Administrator.
Ask whether they were in the care of a Manitoba CFS Agency between January 1, 2005 and March 31, 2019. Don't wait until they have found all their records or remember every detail of their time in care.
