The Government of Canada launches new joint initiative to help Canadians access their benefit information online
(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 03/07/17 -- The Government of Canada is committed to offering electronic services to Canadians so that they can quickly and easily access their information and complete their online transactions. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and Families, Children and Social Development are working together to provide a service that is focused on the needs of Canadians.
Today the Honourable Diane Lebouthillier, Minister of National Revenue, and the Honourable Jean-Yves Duclos, Minister of Families, Children and Social Development, announced a new integrated online service linking the two organizations' respective secure portals, My Account and My Service Canada Account.
My Account and My Service Canada Account offer Canadians self-service options to update and manage their tax and benefit affairs online anytime. The CRA's My Account allows individuals to view or change their return, track their refund, check their benefit and credit payments and much more. My Service Canada Account allows Canadians to view and update their employment insurance, Canada Pension Plan and Old Age Security information and more. Using the new link, Canadians who are registered for either CRA's My Account or ESDC's My Service Canada Account can now access both services using a single secure session. It's convenient, accessible and a secure way to make sure their personal information is always up to date.
The Canada Revenue Agency serves Canadians by delivering client-focused services. With the launch of Auto-fill my return, the MyCRA mobile app and MyBenefits CRA mobile app, as well as the redesigned notice of assessment that is simpler and easier to read, Canadians have more resources to help them easily file their tax return and get their refund faster.
