What to expect at a session
Claimant Support Sessions provide free, one-on-one support from Claims Helpers in a safe and respectful setting. Support may include:
- An information session about the Federal Indian Hospitals Settlement and the Claims Process
- One-on-one support with understanding the Claim Form
- Support with identification questions or documents
- Help understanding letters from the Claims Administrator
- Connections to wellness or cultural supports where available
Everyone moves through the Claims Process differently. Claims Helpers will move at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Claims Helpers do not decide compensation and cannot provide legal advice or confirm eligibility.
Preparing for a session
If possible, bring:
- One piece of government-issued identification, preferably photo identification
- Any letters or documents related to your Claim
- A notebook or support person, if that feels helpful to you
If you do not have identification or documents, you can still attend a session and speak with a Claims Helper about available support.
Need additional support?
If you need additional support such as translation for languages other than English or French, sign language interpretation, wheelchair or other accessibility needs, call the Info Line at 1-888-592-9101 and press 2 to speak with a Claims Helper.
Be sure to share the details of the session you would like to attend and supports required, such as accessible parking or translation. We will try to accommodate requests.
