Service Canada has set up a dedicated phone line for inquiries regarding COVID-19 related E-I claims
It’s for anyone who needs to apply for E-I sickness benefits if you can’t work due to self-isolation.
The one-week waiting period has been waved for those individuals.
Anyone who’s been laid off because of the pandemic and is looking to start a claim for regular E-I benefits can also call the dedicated line.
The number is 1-833-381-2725.
