Employment Insurance (EI) provides regular benefits to individuals who lose their jobs through no fault of their own and are available for work, but can't find a job. Temporary changes have been made to the EI program to help you access EI regular benefits. The changes are in effect until September 2021.
For those who are not eligible to receive EI regular benefits, such as the self-employed, or those experiencing a reduction in income of at least 50% due to COVID-19, the Government has introduced the Canada Recovery Benefit. This temporary benefit provides $500 per week (taxable) for up to 38 weeks between September 27, 2020 and September 25, 2021. To be eligible for the Benefit, you must be available and looking for work and must accept work, when it is reasonable to do so. As an employer you do not have to provide a Record of Employment for an employee to receive CRB and can direct employees to follow this link to apply.
The Canada Recovery Sickness Benefit (CRSB) gives income support to employed and self-employed individuals who are unable to work because they are sick or need to self-isolate due to COVID-19, or have an underlying health condition that puts them at greater risk of getting COVID-19. The CRSB is administered by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).
