Revisions to CERB – Canadian Emergency Response Benefit

April 14, 2020

The federal government has been looking at ways to revise and improve the Canadian Emergency Response Benefit (CERB). This revision is intended to better address the needs of part time and other workers, especially those Canadians working in essential jobs who make less than they would if they received the benefit as it was originally established.

Under the original plan, the CERB provided a taxable benefit of $2,000 every four weeks for up to four months for eligible workers who have lost their income due to COVID-19.

Today the Prime Minister announced that the government will be changing the eligibility rules to:

  • Allow people to earn up to $1,000 per month while collecting the CERB
  • Extend the CERB to seasonal workers who have exhausted their EI regular benefits and are unable to undertake their usual seasonal work as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak
  • Extend the CERB to workers who recently exhausted their EI regular benefits and are unable to find a job or return to work because of COVID-19

The Prime Minister also acknowledged that the COVID-19 pandemic has placed particular demands on low-income workers in certain sectors, including those on the front-line in hospitals and nursing homes, those ensuring the integrity of the food supply, or providing essential retail services to Canadians.

To address this situation, the federal government will work with provinces and territories through a new transfer to cost-share a temporary top-up to the salaries of workers deemed essential in the fight against COVID-19, who make less than $2,500 a month.

Details as to the application and delivery of this measure will be released shortly following further work with provinces and territories.
