Minimum 13.1 Per Cent Unemployment Rate to be Applied Across Canada to Help Transition off CERB - VOCM

The federal government is changing some of the guidelines for Employment Insurance.

Effective immediately, a minimum unemployment rate of 13.1 per cent will be applied temporarily for all EI economic regions across Canada.

When people begin transitioning off the CERB back to EI regular benefits at the end of this month, those living in EI regions with an unemployment rate lower than 13.1 per cent will have their benefits calculated on the basis of the 13.1per cent rate.

Those living in regions with a higher unemployment rate will have their benefits calculated using the actual rate for that region.

This is the first in a series of steps to be announced in the coming weeks.
