Hi folks, the details on the new Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) are posted online.

We recognize the urgency of the COVID-19 situation, and that’s why our government has taken action to support workers and their families with the CERB.

This benefit will mean that workers, including the self-employed, who are now unable to work because of COVID-19 have income support, even if they don’t qualify for EI.

Starting April 6, 2020, there will be a single portal available to assist Canadians with the application process.

The CERB Q/A is now live, and the current eligibility requirements are now posted.
