Grief counselling
Support for grief counselling is available for immediate family members (up to $4,440 per family member). Each counselling session is reimbursable up to $157, or $241 if provided by a registered psychologist. You can choose your counsellor from among registered clinical counsellors, psychiatrists, members of the clergy, Indigenous elders, and others. Your claims specialist can help you access your grief counselling benefit.
Lump sum payments
Some family members are eligible for a lump sum payment to help them transition after the loss of a loved one. The amount of the benefit is determined by factors such as age and income of the deceased, and relationship and family status. Talk to your claims specialist for more information.
