Significantly more Canadians are calling toll-free lines at this time as we all work to limit the spread of COVID-19. While our VAC lines (EN: 1-866-522-2122, FR: 1-866-522-2022, TTY: 1-833-921-0071) are fully operational, the high volume of calls on Canada’s toll-free lines has put a strain on the telephone networks across the country. This could mean that you may not connect with an agent on your first try even if VAC has agents available.

This situation is unfortunately beyond our control. We apologize for any inconvenience and encourage you to keep trying. You may want to use My VAC Account secure messaging as an alternative.

Due to COVID-19, there has been an increase in scams and phishing attacks about COVID-19 benefits.

As the Government of Canada introduces new supports for Canadians who are facing hardship during this time, we remind you to be vigilant when receiving phone calls, emails and text messages that refer to these new benefits.

The best place to find information on Canada’s Economic Response plan is at Covid-19

The best way to defend yourself against cyber-attacks is with information. If you can recognize the signs of a phishing campaign, you’ll be better equipped to protect your personal information from cyber scammers.

Please visit Get Cyber Safe for details on signs of a phishing campaign, and how to stay safe. Get Cyber Safe

Some of you have suggested automatic approvals on disability claims. Although we do not use automatic approvals, we are encouraging decision makers to work more efficiently, using available evidence to reach the fastest decision possible. #COVID19
