Hello there, I left my place of employment in October 2020 and received a handsome severance package which was actually called a retirement allowance. I received approximately eight months worth of salary. At the beginning of January I applied for employment insurance just so my claim would be in the system. All of the correct information was on my record of employment including my large retirement allowance sum. Everything that I was asked when I applied, I answered truthfully, including the reason I left my place of employment, which was my choice. I received my first EI payment yesterday and I’m not sure that I should have received it because my severance has not “run out”. Any idea why I am getting EI and whether or not they will come to me a year from now and try and claw it back? Thank you for your feedback
