Transitional Assistance Program

Declaration Form

On this form, you must sign eight times to indicate your commitments to the Transitional Assistance Program. You must agree to all the points listed on the form in order to participate in the program.

Make sure you sign all eight sections, even if you feel the information there is not relevant to your situation. You may indicate this by writing ‘not applicable’ beside any of the statements that do not apply, but you still must sign beside each statement, indicating that you have read, understood and agreed to it.

At the top of the form, you will see your name and Social Insurance Number (SIN). Please check carefully to make sure this information is correct.

Beneath the identification information, there are eight statements listed. Please read them carefully and sign beside each of the statements. The eight sections confirm the following information:

  • The information you have provided to us is complete, accurate and true.
  • You have provided us with information about any severance payments.
  • You understand that Transitional Assistance Program funding affects Employment Insurance (EI) eligibility.
  • You consent to us informing Service Canada of your resignation/retirement.
  •  Confirmation that you will resign/retire on your selected date. Enter your resignation/retirement date in the box containing this statement and make sure it is the same as the resignation/retirement date you enter on the other two forms. Please remember that your resignation/retirement date is not the same as your lay-off date.
  • You agree not to return to work for your employer, a subsidiary company or on the same site for 18 months.
  • You agree to contact us and cooperate if your circumstances change and you return to work contrary to program rules.
  • You understand that if you provide false information or break program rules you will be required to return funds received, plus interest and penalties.

At the bottom of the page, enter the date.

You must send us the original form with your signatures on it for us to be able to process your payment.
