Government has sent out more than 100,000 letters so far
Canadians who received simultaneous payments from Employment Insurance (EI) and the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) in the early days of the pandemic might soon get a letter from the government asking them to pay the extra back.
The Toronto Star reporting some opposition MPs, advocates and experts are asking the feds to delay repayments as it could cause people financial stress.
The letters are being sent to people who received benefits from EI and CERB at the same time.
According to the CRA, most of them owe $2,000 or less.
More than 100,000 such notices have been sent, though not all letters have gone out yet.
