First Nations Child and Family Services and Jordan’s Principle
Compensation Class Action Update
December 2023
It has come to our attention that individuals are attempting to gather sensitive information under the pretense of being associated with the First Nations Child and Family Services (FNCFS) and Jordan’s Principle Settlement. Please note that no one actually affiliated with the Settlement is requesting personal information from Class Members at this time. Neither the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) Compensation Information Desk nor Deloitte, the Administrator, are reaching out directly to request personal information over the phone.
Potential Class Members should proceed with caution when receiving calls or emails related to the FNCFS and Jordan’s Principle Settlement. It is crucial to verify the legitimacy of any caller before sharing personal information.
