NL Health Services Outlines Plans for Client Cheques as a Result of a Potential Canada Post Disruption
Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) Health Services has put measures in place to make alternate arrangements for clients to obtain time-sensitive client cheques as quickly as possible given the uncertainty for a potential postal disruption at Canada Post.
Clients are encouraged to receive their funds through Electronic Funds Transfer directly to their bank account. If they have not already arranged for this service, clients may contact their financial assessment officers to make these arrangements. This option is available for clients in the Eastern Urban/Rural, Central and Western zones only.
Alternatively, cheques will be transported via courier to centralized community services buildings throughout each zone as of Friday, May 30, 2025. Clients who are expecting payments from NL Health Services should pick up their cheques at the locations and times listed on NL Health Services’ website.
For the time being, future payments will be available at those locations Monday to Friday at the times indicated. Clients will be asked to provide a government-issued photo ID in order to receive their cheque. If clients would like another person (who is not the payee on the cheque), to pick up a client’s cheque on their behalf, forms providing special authorization may be granted in these cases.
Clients may call the following numbers to find out where and when cheques will be available and to arrange for special authorization forms to be sent to them via email in advance.
