Welcome to Families


NOTICE:

In preparation for a potential disruption in Canada Post Services, Families will stop sending all mail through Canada Post on May 15, 2025.

  • Employment and Income Assistance (EIA) and Manitoba Supports for Persons with Disabilities (MSPD) cheques will be available for pick up at Families offices across the province. If you receive your benefits by direct deposit, you are not impacted.
    • In Winnipeg, MSPD cheques will be available at 114 Garry Street. For all other communities, cheques will be available at the local Families office. 
    • EIA cheques will be available at the office where you receive services from, with the exception of those who receive services from Access Downtown (640 Main St, Winnipeg.)  These will be distributed from 128 Market Ave.
