Seniors who receive benefits may be asked, in the letter that accompanies the cheque, to provide receipts for the goods and/or services that have been funded by the program. These receipts must be mailed to the program within three months of receipt of the cheque. If the receipts have not been received, a reminder letter will be sent.

Failure to provide the receipts or failure to spend the money for those items funded may result in a request to return the funds. A senior who does not provide a receipt or return the funds may not be eligible for assistance from the program in the future.
