Unemployment insurance payments
(benefits) are intended to provide
temporary financial assistance to
unemployed workers who meet the
requirements of
provincial or state law.
When you
are unemployed, or working less than
full time, and ready, willing, and
able to work, you may be eligible to
receive unemployment insurance
benefits.
In Canada the system is now known
as Employment Insurance, but
until 1996 it was called
Unemployment Insurance. Canadian
workers pay into a central fund that
contributors can draw on if later
unable to work. Since 1990, there is
no government contribution to this
fund. The amount a person receives
and how long they can stay on EI
varies with their previous salary,
how long they were working, and the
unemployment rate in their area. The
EI system is managed by
Service Canada, a service
delivery network reporting to the
Minister of Human Resources and
Social Development Canada.
