A tool for use in completing the Category 1 claim form.
Many people receiving compensation through the Indian Boarding Homes Class Action Settlement may be handling a large payment for the first time. Taking time to plan how to use and protect this money can help you meet current needs and prepare you for the future.
The Indian Boarding Homes Class Action created a Financial Literacy Brochure with tailored guidance for Indian Boarding Homes claimants to download and use as a resource.
Copies are available at Information Sessions held throughout Canada or you can download the brochure here.
We have assembled tools and trusted resources to help you think through the use of the compensation in ways like: setting financial goals, avoiding scams, and making informed decisions.
Whether you choose to save, spend, or share your payment, it’s important to consider what matters most to you and how this compensation can support your well-being.
Filling out the claim forms can impact your emotional and mental health. If you need support during this process, you can locate resources on the Indigenous Services Canada website.
You can also contact the Hope for Wellness Team for comfort and emotional assistance, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Counseling is available in English, French, Cree, Ojibway and Inuktitut on request.
