Its actually MAXIMUM unemployment amount per week for the last 10 years or so.....employment insurance deducts tax upfront too, so covid cheques are in fact larger than any unemployment cheques. Just got my first reg unemployment cheque UNDER $500, I'm pissed but, at least they extended the coverage period, I got shafted last year, unemployment ran out in March couldn't work till almost June (Marina) NO covid pay, Oh well I won't be as bad off this coming April... always a silver lining.
With all due respect that's incorrect. The maximum benefit under EI is $573 per week. Both EI and CERB are taxable benefits, but only EI takes the taxes up front. There's a day of reckoning coming this spring for those of us who've been on CERB. Also the amount of insurable earnings for EI has gone up every year since 2006.

Texas and California now each have more than a million cases per state.

Only 10 COUNTRIES in the entire world have more than 1,000,000 cases, yet the US has 2 STATES that have passed that mark.

Trump said maybe injections of bleach or whatever sanitising agent might work, he said it's something we should discuss to the doctors and worth looking into .... No one in the conference room said a word ha ha ha ha !

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I'm probably grouped under the frequent user program (seasonal) and only claim basic personal deduction rate. Enumerations paid and coverage periods were previously variable by area and regional average unemployment rate. They gave every worker 300 insurable hrs. or something and lowered qualifying # of hours to...get this.. 420 hours...lol The Lady at the UI office said "420 is the magic number"! Indeed lol. Still not vey much of a difference, yeah tax is taken upfront from UI whereas CERB is gonna be taken at income tax time. About that, do you think there may be amnesty for tax deficits, or just a huge uptick, and extended time for RRSP's? I'm doin wifeys taxes early just in case. I didn't collect CERB, so..I'm sitting pretty for taxes, I WAY over contributed this year... May have to average our incomes GRRR (I want an LED ARRAY with my refund) LOL
