COVID-19: Eligibility requirements widened for CERB

The federal government announced changes on April 15, 2020, to the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) that will allow more Canadians to benefit from the program. The changes permit for applicants to earn up to $1000 a month while collecting the CERB (the criteria previously required $0 income to be eligible)

These changes are retroactive to March 15, 2020. Get more information about who is eligible for this benefit.
