The Canada Emergency Response Benefit is available to those who stop working for reasons related to COVID-19, for example:
• You have lost your job;
• You are in quarantine or sick due to COVID-19;
• You are taking care of others because they are in quarantine or sick due to COVID-19; and/or
• You are taking care of children or other dependents because their care facility is closed due to COVID-19.
• There may be other reasons related to COVID-19 beyond these examples why you may have stopped working. However, you cannot voluntarily quit your job.
Alternatively, you can apply for the Canada Emergency Response Benefit if:
• You are eligible for Employment Insurance regular or sickness benefits; or
• You are a former Employment Insurance claimant who used up your entitlement to your Employment Insurance regular or fishing benefits between December 29, 2019, and October 3, 2020.
• To get the Canada Emergency Response Benefit, you may not earn more than $1,000 for a period of at least 14 consecutive days within the initial four week period of your claim or $1,000 in total for each subsequent claim.
