Article content continuedNow the CRA is once again asking Canadians to claim their money by using the simple “Uncashed Cheques” feature launched on its website last February. And while you’re at it, please sign up for direct deposit if possible, the agency pleads. Once logged in, click on the “Uncashed Cheques” link at the bottom of the “Related Services” column on the “Overview” page. But the launch of the Uncashed Cheques feature on its website hasn’t reduced the number of payments that are unclaimed by Canadians day after day. “Even with the CRA Uncashed Cheque feature in My Account, the number of uncashed cheques are increasing, with approximately 1,700 uncashed cheques valued at approximately $500,000 added to the list each day,” Branch said, adding that 562,000 unclaimed cheques have been added to the total tally since February 2020.
