Do they need to have lost work due to Covid to qualify? I know that was the requirement up here in Canada. It was $2000 a month if you lost work, and EI became easier to apply for.
Still based on 2019 tax filings. I believe. If they do that $1400 payment to compliment the $600 one, many of us will be traversing excrement creek without a rudder.
Because I'll see maybe $250 of it between a $2000 stimulus and the $1200 payment made earlier on. Don't get me wrong, it's enough for sour grapes, but not much else.
I am Canadian. I did get a $2000 cheque when work got shut down for a couple weeks, but otherwise kept working the whole time. We managed to shut down the right things and keep working
