Changes to support you during COVID-19

As of September 27, 2020, there are some temporary changes to the EI program to help you access EI regular benefits. The following changes will be in effect for 1 year and could apply to you:

A minimum unemployment rate of 13.1% applies to all regions across Canada starting August 9, 2020

  • If your region’s unemployment rate is higher than 13.1%, we’ll use the higher actual rate to calculate your benefits
  • This means you can receive at least 26 weeks of regular benefis.

You only need 120 insured hours to qualify for benefits because you’ll get a one-time credit of 300 insured hours to help you meet the required 420 insured hours of work

If you received the CERB, the 52-week period to accumulate insured hours will be extended
