Starting on Monday Canadians can start applying for the Canada Emergency Response Benefit, but the government is trying to limit the amount of people applying per day.
The Canadian Revenue Agency has set up specific application guidelines based on date of birth.
If you were born between January and March, Monday is your day to apply.
People born in April, May, and June can apply on Tuesday.
People born in July, August, and September are encouraged to apply on Wednesdays.
And anyone who celebrates a birthday in October, November, or December can apply on Thursdays.
Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays will be a free-for-all.
The benefit is available to any Canadian resident 15 years of age or older who stopped working because of COVID-19 and made at least $5,000 in 2019.
If you applied for EI on or after March 15th, your claim will be automatically processed through the CERB.
