The goal of this extension is to support Canadians who are still being financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>The following benefits are impacted:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin: auto 2em 1.5em; list-style-type: disc;\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: inherit; display: list-item; margin: .2em 0 0 .2em;\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\">Canada Recovery Benefit&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: inherit;

list-style-type: disc;\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: inherit; display: list-item; margin: .2em 0 0 .2em;\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\">Employed or self-employed, but not entitled to Employment Insurance (EI) benefits.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: inherit;

The recent changes now allow you to apply for this benefit for a total of 38&nbsp;weeks \u2013 previously the maximum was 26 weeks.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Canada Recovery Caregiving Benefit<\/h3>\n<p>The Canada Recovery Caregiving Benefit (CRCB) helps support people who cannot work because they must supervise a child under 12 or other family members due to COVID-19. For example, a school is closed due to COVID-19 or your child must self-isolate because they have COVID-19.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You can receive $500 ($450 after taxes withheld) for each 1-week period you claim the CRCB. The recent extension made now allows you to apply for this benefit for a total of 38 weeks instead of the previous 26 weeks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Canada Recovery Sickness Benefit<\/h3>\n<p>The $500 a week ($450 after taxes) Canada Recovery Sickness Benefit (CRSB) is also getting a boost. If you cannot work because you are sick or need to self-isolate due to COVID-19, you can now apply for this benefit for a total of four weeks. Previously, this benefit would only cover up to two missed weeks of work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Employment Insurance&nbsp;<\/h3>\n<p>Finally, the government will also be increasing the amount of time you can claim Employment Insurance (EI) benefits. You will now be able to claim EI for a maximum of 50 weeks \u2013 this is an increase of 24 weeks from the previous eligibility maximum.<\/p>\n<p>For full details, go to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/revenue-agency\/campaigns\/covid-19-update\/covid-19-benefits-credits-support-payments.html\"> https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/revenue-agency\/campaigns\/covid-19-update\/covid-19-benefits-credits-support-payments.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ory-row ory-cell-inner\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; display: -webkit-box; display: -ms-flexbox; display: flex; -webkit-box-flex: 0; -ms-flex: 0 1 auto; flex: 0 1 auto; -webkit-box-orient: horizontal; -webkit-box-direction: normal; -ms-flex-direction: row; flex-direction: row; -ms-flex-wrap: wrap; flex-wrap: wrap; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0; position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ory-cell ory-cell-sm-12\" style=\"position: relative; box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-box-flex: 0; -ms-flex: 0 0 auto; flex: 0 0 auto; padding-right: .5rem; padding-left: .5rem; -ms-flex-preferred-size: 100%; flex-basis: 100%; width: 100%; min-width: 100%;\">\n<div class=\"ory-cell-inner ory-cell-leaf\">\n<div class=\"ory-plugins-content-spacer ory-plugins-content-spacer-read-only\" style=\"border-bottom: none; position: relative; border: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.12); border-color: transparent;\">\n<div style=\"height: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday, February 19, 2021, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced an extension to: <\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Canada Recovery Benefit<br \/>\n&#8211; Canada Recovery Caregiving Benefit<br \/>\n&#8211; Canada Recovery Sickness Benefit<br \/>\n&#8211; Employment Insurance<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[218,229,232,230,234],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.9 -
