Tell me Unemployment: Insurance are ¢ New legislation has changed some of the how fications Right now, we measure Unemployment by ground rules of our UI program. Parliament has decided that people who live in areas of high unemployment will be given certain advantages over those who live where jobs are more plentiful. Which means that, as of December 4, vou'll need more insurable work weeks to qualify for . Unemployment Insurance benefits. “19 to 14 weeks, depending on where you live, right?” : Right again. In regions of low unemployment, claimants will need up to 14 weeks of insurable employment to get UI benefits. This will only happen in places where it's easier to get and keep a job. In regions of high unemployment, claimants will need as little as:10 weeks to quality. But until December 4, the entrance requirement remains at eight weeks wherever you’ live. i “How about the two week .waiting period?” No change. The basic two week waiting period remains the same everywhere. And so do the rules on the waiting period when a claimant has left his or her job for no ‘ood reason or been fired for misconduct. In such cases, a claimant may have to wait up to eight weeks from when employment ends until benefits start. “Has the amount of the: benefits changed?” _ Absolutely not. The UI benefit rate stays at two-thirds of your average weekly insurable earnings. The maximum is $147, less tax. “Anything else T should know?” The maximum time for which anyone . May receive benefits has changed slightly. The old een was 51 weeks. Now it’s 50 weeks. But since September 11, the total number of weeks for which a claimant qualifies has more closely reflected the unemployment rate in his or her region. benefits. iy dividing Canada into 16 economic regions. Later, in 1978, we will fine-tune the program to 54 regions so that UI will be even more closely related to the local labour market conditions, Also, there's maternity, sickness and age 65 Previously, sickness benetits were only payable during the first 39 weeks of the claim. low they are payable at any time during the - entire benefit period. '. Maternity benetits of 15 weeks and the special one-time benefit (equal to three weeks’ benefits) at age 65 remains the same. ‘The same people still pay for the program in the same proportions, and the types of émployment insurable for UI remain the same, too, And, as explained i in the box below, you . aa go to the familiar locations for both UI offices da Manpower Centres, Watch for changes in your area.
