The Federal Workers’ Compensation Service and Correctional Service Canada are responsible for the Compensation Program for Federal Penitentiary Inmates.
The Labour Program’s Federal Workers’ Compensation Service receives and assesses all claims, makes recommendations related to permanent disability impairments and forwards them to Correctional Service Canada.
Correctional Service Canada then reviews the recommendations and is responsible for all decisions and for payments of benefits.
Do you have a question about the inmate benefit claims? You can contact Correctional Service Canada or the Labour Program directly to find out more.
