Current or Former Canadian Forces Members Services and Benefits

Transitioning from the military can be an adjustment for you and
your family. We're here to help when and where you need us.

You may qualify for a tax-free lump sum detention benefit if you are a CF member or CF Veteran who, while serving in the Forces:

was detained by an enemy, opposing force or person or group carrying out a terrorist activity; or
evaded capture or escaped from any power.

You can read more about this benefit (Opens a New Window) in the "New Veterans Charter" Act at Justice Canada’s Website.
