About this service
The Canadian Forces Income Support (CFIS) is a tax-free monthly benefit to help low-income survivors, and orphan children. You may be eligible to receive this benefit if you previously received the Earnings Loss Benefit or your spouse/parent was receiving Canadian Forces Income Support when they passed away. For this program, we use the Statistics Canada Formula to measure low income. This formula considers any income you are currently earning or any government benefits you receive.
Who can use it?
If you are the survivor or orphan child of a Canadian Armed Forces Veteran you should apply for Canadian Forces Income Support if: you have a low income, you were receiving Earnings Loss Benefit for Survivors but it has ended (entitlement ends on what would have been deceased Veterans 65th birthday), or the deceased Veteran was receiving CFIS at time of his or her non-service related death, and you meet the Canadian residency requirements.
When is it open?
Canadian Forces Income Support - Survivors is open Monday 8:30am - 4:30pm Tuesday 8:30am - 4:30pm Wednesday 8:30am - 4:30pm Thursday 8:30am - 4:30pm Friday 8:30am - 4:30pm.
