Inuvialuit elders to receive December benefit payment
Inuvialuit Regional Corporation is pleased to announce that all Inuvialuit beneficiaries 60 years of age and over (933 in total) will be issued a benefit payment of $500 on December 1, 2025. The benefit is made possible by the interest income of the $441,000 Inuvialuit Social Development Fund and was approved by the IRC board of directors at its November 18-20 meeting held in Inuvik.
How funds will be distributed:
- For elders registered with IRC Enrolment for direct deposit, payments will be deposited directly to their bank account on December 1.
- For elders not registered for direct deposit, community corporations will be distributing benefit cheques in each Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR) community the week of Dec 2.
- For elders living outside the ISR cheques will be mailed—IRC is not responsible for delays within Canada Post.
Elder beneficiaries are always encouraged to get set-up with their direct deposit and to ensure their mailing address is kept up to date with IRC, so there is no delay in receiving payments.
