How much can a claim be worth?

An approved claim is stated at C$2,000. A higher amount (up to C$68,000 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 December 1, 2026, 82 days from today. After that the administrator stops accepting them.

Who may be eligible for the Ontario Government settlement?

Inmates and immigration detainees who were held in Ontario correctional or detention centres and experienced 16 or more staffing-related lockdowns during the applicable class period. Claims are submitted via the official Deloitte administrator portal.
