SOCAN will no longer be issuing royalty cheques and paper statements for amounts less than $500, as of the Aug. 15, 2009, distribution. Members whose accumulated earnings are less than $500 at the time of any distribution will be paid through direct deposit and have statements available online only. To register for direct deposit and online statements, contact the SOCAN Membership Information Centre at 1-866-30-SOCAN, or log on to your account at www.socan.ca and select “View Financial Information.”

This change is part of SOCAN’s continuing efforts to reduce paper waste and encourage members to take advantage of our online tools and services.
