SUB & E.I.

How long does my claim last?

Claims run for a 52 week period depending on how many weeks payable by E.I. This is determined when a claim is finalized by E.I. The maximum payable is 45 weeks

Can I still use the phone to report my laid off hours to E.I?

Yes, for reporting only. To start or restart your claim, it must be done on-line.

What happens if I don't keep reporting after I've been back to work for a period of time?

Say you're laid off for 2 weeks, file your claim and report your weeks of layoff to E.I. then go back to work for 2 months and don't keep up your reporting. That's fine if you are laid off again, you re-open your claim by refilling an application.

When is the deadline to submit my 2008 clawback?

You have until April 30, 2010 to apply for 2008 clawback.

Am I eligible for 2009 clawback?

If you were on layoff anytime between January 1 - June 1, 2009 you qualify for 2009 clawback. If you were on layoff prior to June 1st and did not have a return to work date until some period after shutdown, you would still be eligible for clawback until you returned to work.

(i.e. - on layoff March 1, 2009 until September 14, 2009 you would be eligible through this period of 7 months.)

How long do I have to apply for S&A or WSIB E.I. waiting period upon my return to work?

The time frame E.I. allows is a 3 week window to apply for E.I. waiting period.

Please note: The best advice I can give to any member is if you're not sure, please contact the SUB office or cell phone or email Brad or Larry. Mistakes mean delays in getting your claim finalized which only leads to delays in payments.
