Here in Canada you only qualify for EI if you are laid off.
Fired, your shit out of luck.
Not with this corona I do believe anyone can apply they removed the conditions, and even if you do get fired it’s t only says on your roe dismissed
If you get dismissed with cause your fucked probably won’t get it ( you really really did something ie fighting/threatening)
Dismissed can mean you got fired but it’s such a broad description most times you will get it if you have a good reason/defence to why you got fired/quit

I’ll assume either your underage or you have siblings that’s why he’s getting the 600 extra
i will be 34 this yr and my youngest sister turns 33 this yr so no that is not the case they did a blanket increase on unemployment for the next 6 weeks and yes if youre a hard working american who pays taxes and provides for yourself you would kno that that would be a dumb move but this country is filled with bum azz people who dont want to work for what they have they just bleed us tax payers to fund these govt programs i personally know someone who lives in a house gettin section 8 payin 50 dollars a month for rent gettin 600 dollars a month in foodstamps she collects unemployment and they just dont report that he lives there and he works 12 hrs a day 5 days a week making close to 4 grand a month... those are the people that are the problem with the "blanket increase" ... my first post was just a dark joke that if i would be out of a job i would be financially better off at this moment im too proud to live off the govt everything i have i have worked for js

The idea is to give people the money not just to help them out but to give a boost to the economy, because poor people spend money like there's a hole in their pocket. Give it to a rich man and he will save it. But yeah, a lot of people who don't grasp what's going on focus on the easy, they will get more money being laid off in the short run.

I was fined yesterday for being out of my house and receiving "non-essential" services at the massage parlor. This is getting ridiculous.
im sorry to hear that i def understand that while for some a massage is a luxury and others have medical need ... and my job was quick to give us all letters stating we are "essential employees" to present to law enforcement if stopped.

neither... it was meant as a joke but in reality is not a joke.... 900 a week is 22.50 an hr atleast 50 percent of the "essential work force" in the us is makin way less than that while they risk their lives to provide necessities... i am not against upping the unemployment to help those that need it but there are those out there that needed the help before this hit and those essential workers riskin their lives are doing it for way less... the dark joke is 900 a week would be incentive to just purposely get fired and end up bringin home more money then you would if you kept working ... i work for boeing im considered an essential employee even tho most airlines are grounded atleast im lucky to have a job for now... 900 a week would be a very decent pay increase for me but i am not one who works the system even tho my tax dollars go to all those govt assistance programs that people do game i do not get any tax breaks nor do i qualify for any of them even tho on my wage it is very tough to pay a 1000 dollar mortgage all the utilities car note car ins and food but i do it and i do it all by my damn self without any help or govt assistance... and besides i wouldnt leave my job because there would be no garauntee of being able to get one once this is over
Yeah, this would be considered playing the system during a time of crisis. People who actually think this way would be the first to bitch and complain when they can't find a job, when this is all over, because someone who actually lost their job to this pandemic took the job they gave up for unemployment benefits. I thought you were a complete idiot until I saw that last sentence.
