On October 24, 2023, the Federal Court approved the $23.4 billion Revised Final Settlement Agreement on Compensation for First Nations children and families who experienced discrimination because of Canada's inequitable provision of the First Nations Child and Family Services program and flawed, narrow implementation of Jordan's Principle. 

There is currently no application for compensation at this time. Before any compensation will be paid to victims, the Federal Court must first approve the Distribution Protocol, which will set out compensation eligibility criteria, procedures, the necessary forms to fill out, and supports for beneficiaries. While timing is not finalized, it is likely that compensation distribution will begin in the fall 2024. 

For compensation-related questions, please call the Claims Administrator (Deloitte) at 1-833-852-0755 or visit their website.
