Current benefits and payment history

The Current benefits and payment history section displays the values of the current benefits you are receiving (or are scheduled to receive) organized by program, as well as a history of payments issued over the last 24 months.

You can print a copy by right clicking on the Current benefits or Payment history pages, select print preview and then print. If you would prefer an official copy by mail please send a request via Secure Messaging.

You can view information for payments for benefits within the past 24 months in the programs Payment History tab. However, only information for the benefits you are currently receiving are displayed in the Current Benefits tab.

As soon as any change is made to the value of your benefits in our system, it is displayed in My VAC Account. If, for some reason, there is any difference between the information displayed in My VAC Account and the information maintained internally by VAC, the latter is considered the official record.

Occasionally, if a specific arrangement (such as a wire transfer) has been made for a disability program payment, it may not appear on this page.

If you are receiving a grant or reimbursement through the Veterans Independence Program (VIP) benefit, you will see the total annual amount to which you are entitled. This is known as a benefit arrangement.

It is possible that there may be a difference between what is displayed in My VAC Account and what has been sent to you in writing. The amount displayed through My VAC Account may not include any one-time or limited-time adjustments.

If you receive a disability benefit, you will see the details of your current monthly benefit in My VAC Account. If you receive periodic payments for a lump sum disability award, you will see the amount and date of your next payment.

To see all of the disability benefit payments made during the last 24-months, click the Payment history tab.

A "redirection" means part or all of a benefit is paid to another person or organization.

Please note: if you would like part of your benefit to go to another person or organization, we can pay them directly. This is referred to as a “redirection” in your account.

A "withhold" means part or all of a benefit amount is held back, such as a deduction or overpayment.

Example (hypothetical): you receive an additional pension while your child studies at university. Your child graduates, but you continue to be paid the additional amount. We will withhold the amount you were overpaid and take it off your next pension payment.

Generally speaking, you can expect to receive the payment(s) displayed in current benefits in either the current month or the upcoming month, depending on the date you are viewing the information.
