Direction to Pay
This form provides us with the information we need to
pay you your Transitional Assistance Program funding.
Before beginning to fill out the form, please make sure
you have made decisions on the points covered in our
Once You Are Approved
page. Please make sure you know how and when you want
to receive your funding before filling out this form.
We are unable to accommodate
changes once your Direction to Pay form has been
processed. To fill out the Direction to Pay
form, please follow these five steps:
- Check the personal information that is printed
at the top of the form, including your name, Social
Insurance Number (SIN) and the total amount of
Transitional Assistance Program funding you are
eligible to receive (which should match the amount
indicated in our letter to you).
- Enter your resignation/retirement date on
the line below the personal information 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.
- In the Cash section of the form, enter the
total amount of your benefit that you wish to
receive in cash and below that, how much of it you
wish to receive in each of the two time periods
listed. It is entirely up to you to decide how much
of your funding to receive during each
payment period.
- In the Registered
Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) Contributions
section of the form, enter the total amount of the
benefit that you wish to have deposited directly to
your RRSP and below that, how much of it you wish
deposited to your own and/or a spousal and/or
common-law RRSP, in each time period listed. The
total amount in all four boxes should equal the
amount you have entered as the total to be paid into
RRSPs.
Please check carefully to make
sure the RRSP account number(s) you write in are
correct. Have the financial institution
apply its address stamp
in the place indicated for each RRSP you wish to
receive deposits. This is to make sure we deposit
your funding with the correct financial institution.
- At the bottom of the form, sign and write
the date.
You must send us your original
form with your signature on it for us to be able to
process your payment.
