The Canada Revenue Agency has gone ahead and devised an innovative new web-based app, dubbed MyBenefits, that is designed to make it easier than ever for tax-payers in the country to go about viewing as well as understanding all their benefit and credit information.
What's great about this app is that it functions as a secure and rapid way to check your benefits and upcoming payments without having to wait on the phone for long periods of time. What's more, users can even use the app to update pertinent personal information such as marriage and child status, which have an impact on benefits.
Ultimately, the MyBenefits app represents a clear shift in that it signals the willingness of government organizations to increasingly embrace online platforms to serve and inform citizens.
