Under the Veterans Health Care Regulations, Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) administers benefits to eligible veterans who are in receipt of long-term care, including adult residential care, intermediate care, and chronic care. Veterans are required to contribute, up to a maximum monthly amount, to the cost of their accommodation and meals(“A&M”) while in long-term care.

The maximum monthly A&M amounts veterans are required to pay are set by reference to the lowest user charge for accommodation and meals permitted by a province or territory.

This proposed class proceeding alleges that since at least 1 October 1998, VAC overcharged class members for the cost of their care by miscalculating A&M amounts because VAC failed to apply the lowest user charge for accommodation and meals permitted in the territories.

The proposed class proceeding seeks, among other things, that Canada pay proposed class members, including estates of such persons, damages, including the A&M amounts for which they were overcharged, and interest.
