Coronavirus Zone 🦠

• CERB eligibility
  • BL: Personal application, made eligibility requirement changes. If you were paid more than $5000 last year and less than 1000 in a 14-day period within one of the CERB 4-week periods this year. It’s very easy. As an employer, finance team can provide info on how much you earned.
