The Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement stipulates that once all Common Experience Payments (CEP) have been made, if more than $40 million remains in the Trust Fund, the funds are to be made available to CEP Recipients, upon application, in the form of non-cash Personal Credits of up to $3,000 each for educational purposes. CEP Recipients will be able to choose to transfer their Personal Credits to certain Family Members as defined in the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement and the Terms and Conditions; Terms and Conditions for Personal Credits have been developed by Canada and the Assembly of First Nations and by Canada and Inuit Representatives to determine which Education Entities and Groups and which Educational Programs and Services are eligible; Once the Personal Credits have been distributed, any amount remaining in the Trust Fund on January 1, 2015 is to be paid to the National Indian Brotherhood Trust Fund and the Inuvialuit Education Foundation to be used for educational programs.(all of which i do not agree with... along with the idea that there is a deadline to apply for the personal credits.. whereas most of the studies.. and programs.. that are of interest to some of our survivors; do not start until after a certain date... it is such a... confused load of whatever that mostly doesnt even apply to the interest of survivors who have absolutely NOTHING whatsoever to do with the national indian brotherhood afn whatever.. and still are eligible to lose their credits to them... tell me.. why and how that is fair) Some deadlines to remember: On November 17, 2014, the Supreme Court of British Columbia issued an Interim Consent Order. The interim order indicates that Crawford Class Actions Services, acting as Agent for Canada, shall continue to receive and process applications for Personal Credits in accordance with the terms and conditions for Personal Credits previously approved by the Court on October 31, 2013, pending any further direction from the Court. This means that until a final decision is made, eligible Common Experience Payment recipients and their family members may continue to submit applications for Personal Credits. The educational service to which Personal Credits are being applied must be completed by April 30, 2015. all i can say right now: i am sorry for the runaround.. our survivors are getting just to get whatever.. it is they can.. to use this opportunity.. something.. they have never been given..something that was candycoated..and not realising.. how much of a run around it really is... what an insult.. and blow to our integrity..
