If you pass away while you’re receiving benefits, the benefits don’t continue and won’t be passed on to your estate.
Your estate should contact us as soon as possible providing the claim number and the death certificate so we can stop benefit payments.
We’re here to help support spouses and dependants of people who lost a family member due to a workplace injury or illness. Family members may be entitled to survivors’ benefits.
Funeral homes
Funeral homes that are helping to arrange a funeral for someone who passed away while receiving WSIB benefits should ask their client to contact us.
