There is no charge to the employee for service. EFAP fees are paid by the GNWT, and participants in EFAP do not need to pay and then submit for reimbursement. If, however, an EFAP counselor refers an employee to a resource in the community, the responsibility for the fees for those services are the employee’s. The counsellor will provide a number of referral options and will take into consideration the employee’s ability to pay for this service. In most cases, there are a number of social services available that can provide the necessary assistance for a fee that is based on one’s ability to pay and, in some instances, service may be covered by existing GNWT group benefits.
