I’m a recipient of a financial assistance program with claim slips (carnet de réclamation). Does my child qualify for the See Better to Succeed program?

Yes. The procedure is the same for everyone. You have to have purchased eyeglasses or contact lenses before submitting an application. You will receive a cheque in the mail, no later than 3 weeks after having submitted your application.

Please note that the Ministère de l’Emploi et de la Solidarité sociale (MESS) may reimburse you, under certain conditions, for an amount paid above the amount you have been granted. Moreover, if the eyeglasses or contact lenses need to be repaired (ineligible for the See Better to Succeed program) or replaced during the 24-month period between 2 applications for reimbursement under the program, you may benefit from the special benefit provided in such case. Contact the MESS for more information.
