Memorial Grant Program for First Responders | Public Safety Canada

none

Value

One-time lump sum, tax-free direct maximum payment of $300,000.

Description

In recognition of the critical role of first responders in protecting Canadians, the Memorial Grant Program for First Responders will provide a one-time lump sum, tax-free direct maximum payment of $300,000 to the beneficiaries of first responders who have died as a result of their duties.

The Memorial Grant is a non-economic benefit and does not compensate beneficiaries of first responders for monetary loss (income replacement) or serve as life insurance, but rather, is in recognition of their service and sacrifice.

Eligible Applicants

An individual who is able to demonstrate and provides evidence of relationship to a deceased first responder as described below. Eligible beneficiaries are to be determined and paid in accordance with the following descending order of priority:

  • the spouse or common-law partner as the case may be; or
  • if there is no surviving spouse or common-law partners, to a surviving child or children divided in equal amounts; or
  • if there is no surviving child, to a surviving parent or parents divided in equal amounts, or
  • if there is no surviving parent, to surviving brothers and sisters divided in equal amounts; or
  • if there is no surviving brothers or sisters, to the deceased’s estate.

Eligible Expenses

Upon receipt of the Memorial Grant amount, the eligible beneficiary[ies] may incur any expenditure that they determine will appropriately recognize the service and sacrifice of the deceased first responder.

The maximum amount payable to any eligible Memorial Grant recipient(s) will be a one-time, lump sum of $300,000 per death. In instances when the Memorial Grant would be divided amongst multiple recipients in equal amounts, the total amount paid out would not exceed $300,000 (e.g., two eligible surviving children would receive $150,000 each).
