Reservists: Know your entitlement and benefit eligibility

Westmount, Quebec – 16 December 2023: Thanks to Lieutenant-Colonel (ret’d) George Siket for passing this valuable resource along to share among the RMR Family.

The Reserve Force is a component of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), and contribute on both the domestic and international scenes. As they engage in training, operations, and their day-to-day duties in service to Canada, all Reservists should be aware of their health care entitlements. Reservists should also understand how these entitlements may change depending on the nature of their employment.

As a reservist, you are busy in training, operations, and day-to-day service duties. So, it is important you know your health care and compensation entitlements. You should also understand how these entitlements may change depending on the nature of your employment.

Current and former members of the Reserve Force can learn about Compensation for ill and injured Reservists and Health care for Reservists by consulting the DND/CAF Ombudsman’s website.
