The CRSB, along with the CRB and the CRCB, follows on the CERB, which has now ended.
The CRSB offers eligible workers a weekly income of $500 for a maximum of two weeks.
To be eligible, workers must, in part:
- Be unable to work for at least 50% of the week because they may or do have COVID-19, they have received the recommendation to self-isolate, or they are at risk of serious complications in case of contagion;
- Have not received one of the other income benefits available (see the list on the program website);
- Not receive paid leave for this period;
- Have earned at least $5,000 in 2019, in 2020, or in the 12 months preceding the date of the application;
- Reside and be present in Canada.
Some conditions apply.
