WCB issues retroactive Consumer Price Index (CPI) payments

Phase 1 of the WCB’s annual CPI payment process was completed in June and it is now processing retroactive CPI payments (Phase 2). This separate process occurs to ensure that clients who received retroactive benefits due to a rate change or appeal receive their CPI entitlement. Retroactive cheques will include CPI up to December 31, 2005.

We expect retroactive CPI cheques to be issued by the end of November. A letter will be sent out 2-3 days in advance of the payment to those who qualify.
