Wage Earner Protection Program for trustees or receivers: Proof of claim

Pursuant to the Wage Earner Protection Program Regulations, you are required to inform individuals of their obligation to file a Proof of Claim. You are also required to confirm receipt of the Proof of Claim on the Trustee/Receiver Information Form.

The confirmation of the Proof of Claim by the trustee/receiver is required before a WEPP payment can be issued.

If you receive a Proof of Claim after you have already submitted a Trustee/Receiver Information Form, an amendment to the Proof of Claim is required. When Service Canada receives the amended Trustee/Receiver Information Form, the individual's eligibility will be reexamined.

The Government of Canada will not file a Proof of Claim with trustees/receivers for its subrogated claim, as the Proof of Claim filed by the applicant is sufficient.
