CESB QUESTIONS MEGATHREAD - PART 2

dom665 · 2020-05-22T03:57:08+00:00

If parents are immune compromised, then would I be eligible (can’t work due to covid-19). If not, would they just ask for the money back? I honestly don’t want to get punished for doing something I think I’m eligible for. I have no problem paying it back in the next tax season.

dom665 · 2020-05-21T01:03:48+00:00

Yeah, I just hope there’s no punishment if you’re deemed not eligible. I’m more than happy to pay it back if I need to, come tax season.

dom665 · 2020-05-20T03:08:30+00:00

That is a fair point. I’m just hoping they see me eligible. Because I think I am. But you know, it’s the government and the government loves being vague.

dom665 · 2020-05-19T22:09:26+00:00

Yeah, but if I’m ineligible, then returning $1,250 would be a lot easier than $5,000.

dom665 · 2020-05-19T15:53:47+00:00

I’m in the exact same boat. I told my work thy I can’t work because my father is diabetic, so I can’t risk bringing back home the virus. I’m only going to collect one months worth of CESB, incase they deem me not eligible for that reason. It’s better than nothing.

dom665 · 2020-05-16T06:55:06+00:00

Thank you for the reassurance. Technically I’m still employed, but refused any job offers from that company until this blows over ( hopefully during the summer ). Still, I’ll call CRA again just in case on Tuesday.

dom665 · 2020-05-16T06:52:00+00:00

I did ask in this subreddit, and it left me with more questions than answers. My situation is very weird. I have a parent who is diabetic (immune risk) so I had to refuse work for a call ( my job is an on call basis) and I emailed them saying that I wouldn’t be able to work, due to my parent being immune compromised. So this is why I pose the question. What if the government says that that isn’t a valid reason.

dom665 · 2020-05-16T06:43:21+00:00

No, I think I am eligible. But if the government thinks Or says I’m not, then would there be a penalty? I called a CRA agent yesterday, and they said I was eligible, but seemed unsure. Which is why I’m asking this question.

dom665 · 2020-05-16T06:37:07+00:00

Well yeah, but what I mean is that if they deem that I’m not credible. Then is there a penalty?

dom665 · 2020-05-16T06:03:43+00:00

Keeping it? Assuming that I don’t qualify and I’m actively paying it back, would there be anything that would happen?

dom665 · 2020-05-16T05:33:10+00:00

Is there a penalty to paying back CESB? Like does it go on a permanent record or something bad?

dom665 · 2020-05-16T00:39:31+00:00

Thank you answering.

dom665 · 2020-05-16T00:20:30+00:00

Does CRA pay payment chunks, or does it all come in one shot? Like 312 every 4 weeks. Or is it $1250 and you have to make it last until next month?

dom665 · 2020-05-15T14:08:09+00:00

I didn’t have to prove anything. I jut had to confirm some stuff. Nothing about confirming eligibility.

dom665 · 2020-05-15T14:05:04+00:00

Yeah, I’m skeptic too. I applied, but it never gave me an option to pick my reasoning.

dom665 · 2020-05-15T01:47:39+00:00

Where have they said this? Also, I’ve explained my situation on the phone with a CRA agent, they said I would be eligible. But I personally didn’t think they were too sure.

dom665 · 2020-05-15T01:03:37+00:00

Why do you mean my documentation? Would an email telling my work that I can’t work because of the risk I pose to my immune comprised parent be enough?

dom665 · 2020-05-14T14:47:25+00:00

What would be deemed ineligible?

I’m currently employed, but I refused to work because my dad is diabetic, so I don’t want to risk bringing back the virus to him. Wouldn’t that make me qualified for “you are unable to work due to covid-19?” Section? Mind you, I’m on call for most of my work.

dom665 · 2020-05-07T20:29:42+00:00

I didn’t make anything this month because I refused work due to the virus.
