HOW TO APPLY FOR EMERGENCY BENEFITS

The emergency care benefit will provide up to $900 every two weeks, for up to 15 weeks, to help Canadian workers who cannot go to work, do not have paid sick leave and do not qualify for EI sickness benefits. This includes those who are sick themselves, as well as those who are staying home to look after others who are sick or children who are not in school.
The emergency support benefit will offer payments of undisclosed amounts to unemployed workers who are not eligible for EI.
Applications for both benefits will open in April, at a date to be determined.
