File Ei Report

You must submit an EI report every two weeks if you are receiving EI compensation. This can be done over the phone or online. You will need a SIN (Social Insurance Number), the access code, and your province of residency to submit an EI report online. The same information is required if you are calling in an EI report.
When you file an EI report, you will be asked questions about your earnings and training. The answers you provide will help Service Canada decide your benefits eligibility. They may also request that you repay some benefits. For this reason, it is vital to fill out the report correctly and follow the deadline.
If you are self-employed, you must report your income, including any commissions or tips. You may also have to include worker’s compensation and social income assistance. Some people are eligible to receive modified EI benefits for part-time jobs.
In addition to reporting your earnings, you will be asked to write whether you were available for work during the past two weeks. If you were unavailable for work, you must give a specific reason for not being able to work. For example, if you had to take time off because of an illness, you need to mention this. You may also be required to include details of your caregiving responsibilities.
If you are on maternity leave, you must explain. However, if you are filing an EI report online, you can only complete it if you explain your situation. An EI online report will allow you to review the answers you provided before submitting it. The report has several sections, and the information you provide must be accurate.
You will be prompted to enter a 4-digit Access Code to continue with the application. It is also possible to file an EI report on the phone, but this may delay the payment of your benefits.
You should also check your pay stubs to make sure you have been paid during the period you were on maternity leave. Otherwise, you will not get paid for the days you were out of the country.
After filling out an EI report, you can call the SSA if you have made a mistake. You can also modify your report before submitting it, which is a good idea. This is so you can avoid delays in your payments.
The EI regime is aimed at catching people who have “earnings.” It is essential to report all your earnings, including any cash you received during the period you were not working. Not doing so will result in you losing your benefits.
If you are on SSDI, you must report your earnings, schooling, and any other activities you have been involved in. Self-employed people must report their income, as well as their training and allowance. People with disabilities, such as PTSD, must also provide a detailed report of their condition.
