Details have been released on how Social Services clients and vendors typically receive cheques, statements, or letters by mail from the City of Peterborough.
During the Canada Post strike, they can pick up the items at the Social Services office at 178 Charlotte St. during office hours, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Staff will notify those who receive cheques when their payments will be available for pick-up.
People must show identification when picking up cheques, statements, or letters at Social Services.
For clients who can receive direct deposit, Social Services is encouraging them to arrange for direct deposit or reloadable payment cards as an alternative and to ensure they are signed up for the MyBenefits program to track payments and support communication.
