Human Resources Development Canada (HRDC) today announced the introduction of DIRECT DEPOSIT TELEDEC in DURHAM REGION which will allow Employment insurance insurance (El) claimants to fill out their claimant reports by touch-tone telephone and allow the Government of Canada to directly deposit El benefits into the bank accounts of claimants. DIRECT DEPOSIT TELEDEC is part of HRDC's Payment Automation Initiative. Saves Time DIRECT DEPOSIT TELEDEC saves claimants the time and inconvenience involved in filling out and mailing their employment insurance reports and in making making special trips to the bank to deposit El cheques. As well, it lets Human Resources Development Canada staff process the information more quickly, allowing for faster payment of employment insurance payments. It also helps eliminate worry about lost or stolen cheques since benefits can only be deposited deposited to an account bearing the name of the claimant. "I encourage people in Durham Region to try the DIRECT DEPOSIT TELEDEC service," said Patricia Walcott, Director of the Oshawa and Pickering Human Resource Centres of Canada. "The Payment Automation Initiative is a good example of how new technologies can improve access to HRDC services for Canadians." El claimants will be able to start using the DIRECT DEPOSIT TELEDEC system in Durham Region on April 20, 1998. They will be able to receive their El in a secure and convenient manner, however however if claimants prefer to receive their El benefits by mail, they still can. For TELEDEC service in English, clients can dial toll- free 1-800-531-7555. For TELEDEC service in French dial 1-800-431-5595. Application for DIRECT DEPOSIT is available through the local I-IRDC office. This project is expected to help save money since once DIRECT DEPOSIT TELEDEC is implemented, it will reduce mailing, printing and other administrative costs. This system has been previously tested in Alberta, Quebec and other areas of Ontario with excellent results. | Clarington Computer Clearance Centre Great Deals! Great Service!
