Recipients of long-term WCB benefits will soon have a more reliable way of knowing when their funds are issued.
Starting February 1st, regular monthly pension benefit payments will be processed on the first Wednesday of every month. The majority of recipients can expect to see funds in their account 1 to 3 business days after this date, depending on their bank’s processing times.
Making improvements to WCB’s payment schedule by introducing a consistent date to plan around is just one way we’re committed to serving people better.
Visit wcb.ns.ca for the updated payment dates.
If you are still receiving paper cheques, you can sign up for direct deposit through WCB Online or call us at 1-800-870-3331 to get started.
