Day to apply for the Canada Emergency Response Benefit

符合以下条件，才能申请CERB:
Eligibility
The benefit will be available to workers:

Residing in Canada, who are at least 15 years old;

Who have stopped working because of COVID-19 or are eligible for Employment Insurance regular or sickness benefits:

Who had income of at least $5,000 in 2019 or in the 12 months prior to the date of their application; and

Who are or expect to be without employment or self-employment income for at least 14 consecutive days in the initial four-week period. For subsequent benefit periods, they expect to have no employment income.
The income of at least $5,000 may be from any or a combination of the following sources: employment; self-employment; maternity and parental benefits under the Employment Insurance program and/or similar benefits paid in Quebec under the Quebec Parental Insurance Plan.

The Benefit is only available to individuals who stopped work as a result of reasons related to COVID-19. If you are looking for a job but haven’t stopped working because of COVID-19, you are not eligible for the Benefit.

有些人之前申请了常规EI, 在审批的过程中，现在又有CERB, 因此产生了疑问，政府也对此作了回答。

How do I know whether to apply for EI benefits or the Canada Emergency Response Benefit?

If you have stopped working because of COVID-19, you should apply for the Canada Emergency Response Benefit, whether or not are eligible for Employment Insurance. The Benefit is available for the period from March 15, 2020 to October 3, 2020.

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

Until then, Canadians who are eligible for Employment Insurance and who have lost their job can continue to apply for Employment Insurance.

If you applied for EI regular or sickness benefits on March 15, 2020 or later, your claim will be automatically processed through the Canada Emergency Response Benefit.

In addition, for other EI benefits, including maternity, parental, caregiving, fishing and worksharing, you should also continue to apply.

在3月15日或之后申请常规EI的，将会自动由CERB 处理。

昨天有朋友在微信上问我，如果现在领取的EI 是2200元，然而CERB 只是2000元，这种情况到底是领取2200元还是2000元？当时问得我哑口无言
今天政府有这方面的回答了。
If I would be entitled to more than the $500 per week under Employment Insurance, will I get the higher amount?

No. When you apply for the Canada Emergency Response Benefit, you will receive $500 per week, regardless of what you may have been eligible to receive through Employment Insurance.

However, you retain your eligibility to receive for Employment Insurance after you stop receiving the Canada Emergency Response Benefit, and the period that you received the CERB does not impact your EI entitlement.

在领取CERB的4个月中，只领取每个月2000元，而不是每个月2200元的EI 。
过了这4个月，如果之前领取的EI 仍然有效的话，那么继续领取2200元。而这4个月的CERB，并不会影响到之前的EI.
