Benefit recipients: Did you know you can get your benefit notice online?

Do you receive benefits like the Canada child benefit* or the GST/HST credit? If you register for Online mail, you’ll receive an e-mail when correspondence like your benefit notice is available online in My Account. Not only is this a fast, easy, and secure way to manage your correspondence, but we’ll stop printing and sending you paper copies in the mail. Already signed up for Online mail? The CRA will continue to send an email notification when new mail is available.

You can register for online mail in one of the following ways:

To access your Online mail, you must be registered for My Account, the CRA's secure online service for individuals. Being registered for My Account has many other benefits too! You can change your address, check your benefit and credit payment dates and amounts, view and update information for the children under your care, check the status of your Canada child tax benefit application, and more!

You can also use My Account to protect yourself against fraud. Have you received a call from someone claiming to be from the CRA, stating that you owe money, or are eligible for a refund? Check your account balance in My Account to help you determine if the call was from the CRA.

To learn more and register, go to cra.gc.ca/myaccount.
