How much can a claim be worth?

An approved claim is stated at C$5,000. A higher amount (up to C$35,000 for the highest-assessed claims) is available, but it is a separate tier that most claimants do not reach, not the expected payout. What an individual receives depends on the administrator's assessment and how many valid claims are filed.

When is the deadline to claim?

Claims close October 15, 2026, 35 days from today. After that the administrator stops accepting them.

Who may be eligible for the Department of National Defence settlement?

Current or former Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members who experienced racial discrimination and/or racial harassment in connection with their military service at any time between April 17, 1985, and January 10, 2025.

PayUpBro does not process claims. This link goes to the court-appointed administrator's own site, which is the only place a claim can be filed.

Reading this costs nothing and needs no account, and filing with the administrator is free too. They pay you directly, and we never handle the money.
