Important Notice: Potential Canada Post Strike – Support Payment Information

A potential Canada Post strike may impact mail delivery services in the coming days. Please review the following important information to avoid disruptions to your support payments.

Making Support Payments

Support payments must continue to be made, even if postal services are disrupted.

Electronic Payment Options

To avoid delays, we recommend using electronic payment methods:

Direct Deposit for Employers

Employers submitting 5 or more NOA payments per pay period can now use direct deposit with BCFMA. To qualify, employers must:

  • Send one bundled amount for all NOA payments
  • Email a remittance to BCFMA with:
    • Case ID
    • Recipient and payor names
    • Amount of support deducted

Please contact our office to set up direct deposit.

Receiving Support Payments

If you are expecting to receive a support payment by cheque, we recommend you sign up for Direct Deposit to avoid potential delays due to mail disruptions.
