Direct deposit offers the following advantages:

  • your payment will not be subject to postal delays
  • your benefit will automatically be deposited into your account if you are ill, on vacation or traveling

You have two options in providing Alberta Seniors Benefit your direct deposit information:

  1. Provide a blank cheque with your name and current address preprinted by your financial institution. Please print VOID across the front of the blank cheque and include your personal health number on the cheque.

    2. OR
