Payment Distribution Update

Claims Have Been Determined

The administration of the Manitoba Developmental Centre (“MDC”) Class Action Settlement is now in its final stages as most claims have been determined.  In accordance with the Court-approved Settlement Agreement, all claim determinations made by the Claims Administrator regarding compensation levels are final and there is no right to appeal or to seek reconsideration. 

Update on Payment of Approved Claims

On December 18, 2025, a batch of cheques were mailed to approved Claimants at the address on file with the Claims Administrator. 

A final batch of cheques is anticipated to be mailed in March 2026 to all remaining approved Claimants. If you are an approved Claimant who did not receive payment in the June 2025, September 2025 or December 2025 mailing, your payment could be scheduled for the final March 2026 mailing.  No further action is required on your part.

IMPORTANT: 6-Month Cheque Cashing Deadline

All compensation cheques must be cashed within six (6) months of the date of issue. Failure to cash your cheque within six (6) months of the date of issue will result in the forfeiture of your right to compensation and the funds will be returned to the Settlement Fund.

Please contact the Administrator as soon as possible if you changed address since submitting your Claim, and need your cheque re-issued to a different address.
