Job Action and the At Home Program: What Families Need to Know
At Home Program Medical and Equipment Benefits continue to be available. Processing times will be longer than usual as we adjust to reduced staffing.
The At Home Program:
We understand delays are stressful.
Even small disruptions can be challenging for families. Ministry staff are working to keep services running and minimize delays during this labour action.
Expecting a payment from the ministry by mail? Deliveries will be affected by the Canada Post service disruption as well as BCGEU job action. We are working hard to minimize the delays where possible. More information will be shared as soon as possible.
In the meantime, you are encouraged to set up direct deposit for future payments. Complete the Direct Deposit Application (PDF, 407KB) and bring ID to a ministry office or Service BC location. For more information, contact us toll-free in B.C. at 1-800-663-7867 or email MCFFinanceCASSupport@gov.bc.ca.
