CERB and EI

[canuck78]

Some people seem to be getting many payments close together instead of staggered. This may also be the case and you are expected to budget knowing this is for this month and next month. Would still try to reach CRA to clarify.

I received $2,000/- and $1,126/- on the same day after I did the In-line reporting for EI and on both it’s mentioned as EI. But when I check my My Account page in CRA, it has mentioned $1,126/- as my EI (Bi-Weekly payment). In short, I got $2,000/- as CERB and $1,126/- as EI on the same day.

Hello Jithu,
I am on the same boat as you! I received $2000(EI) few days back and after submitting my biweekly report today I got another payment for $1000. I didn’t apply for CERB still I got two payments under EI.
Could you please advise what should be done in this case?

EI gets automatically transferred to EI. Some people are getting payments in advance but apparently it will all even out so you need to budget. If you keep on receiving payments then you will need to return the extra funds. You can call CRA if you want further information about the payments.

Yes looks like $1000 is the right amount for my biweekly report that I submitted. I am gonna set aside $2000 that I received and ready to pay back to CRA. Thank you for the reply.

You may have received the 2k early for the next month. Some are getting these bunched up payments.

Makes sense! I am gonna continue submitting my biweekly report until I am laid off. It might eventually even out. And As soon as I am hired back I’ll call CRA to terminate my EI claim. Thank you for your help sir.

You don’t call the CRA to terminate a claim
The CRA cannot access EI applications
The CERB is a ESDC program, it’s just being administered by the CRA
. The money is driven by you doing the biweekly reports . If you don’t do the reports, no money is sent out
Same thing if you started your claim with CERB directly . If you don’t apply for each period , no funds are released

@jithucan123
Were you able to reach them? What did CRA said about $2000 you got in addition to EI payment?
