Annex 2.1 – Employment Insurance benefits – Concepts and definitions
Chapter 2 and annex 2 provide information on the following:
- numbers of new claims established
- the average actual duration
- the average weekly benefit rate
- the amount paid in benefits
- employment insurance claimant categories
- long-tenured workers
- occasional claimants
- frequent claimants
- seasonal regular claimants and claim status
- active
- open
- completed
- terminated
- dormant, and
- combined
These concepts are defined below.
New claims established
New claims established refer to new Employment Insurance (EI) claims that have been received, processed and approved by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) (via Service Canada) for which at least $1 in benefits was paid to an EI claimant.
To avoid double counting, each claim established is counted only once. Thus, a claim that was established, for example, in November 2018 (in FY1819) and for which benefits paid to an EI claimant began in December 2018 (in FY1819) and ended in June 2019 (in FY1920) is included in the FY1819 statistics, but is not counted in the FY1920 statistics.
New claims established designate a different concept from new applications submitted to ESDC (and received by the organization). An application may be submitted, but not necessarily established. This is the case, for example, when the application is rejected as not all of the eligibility requirements are met.
It should be noted that the number of new claims established during a FY does not necessarily correspond to the number of new EI claimants because a claimant can have more than 1 EI claim established annually.
New claims established are also referred to under other names such as:
- new claims established
- benefits
- claims, and
- claims established
The terms "new," "benefits" and "established" are sometimes omitted so as not to complicate the text. In all cases, these terms refer to the same concept.
Average actual duration
The average actual duration of EI claims refers, in regard to these claims, to the average number of weeks of benefits per claim during which at least $1 in benefits was paid to an EI claimant.
For claims associated with most benefits types, the average actual duration is calculated by dividing the sum of the number of weeks of benefits during which at least $1 was paid per claim by the number of claims that were completed based on the variable assessed. For example, the average actual duration for Ontario is equal to the sum of the number of weeks of benefits paid in Ontario for all claims completed during a fiscal year divided by the number of claims that were completed in Ontario during the same period.
Average actual duration for claims for EI fishing benefits and family caregiver benefits for adults and children are calculated using claims established during the reference period rather than claims completed during the reference period.
The average actual duration is a different concept than the average maximum duration: the latter is the maximum number of weeks during which benefits may be paid (under sections 12 and 152.14 of the Employment Insurance Act, and Section 8 of the Employment Insurance (Fishing) Regulations), while the former is the number of weeks for which benefits are actually paid.
Average weekly benefit rate
The average weekly benefit rate, or level of EI benefits, refers to the rate of weekly benefits payable on average for an EI claim.
The average weekly benefit rate is calculated by dividing the sum of the weekly benefit rate of each claim by the number of claims that were established.
The Family Supplement is always included in the calculation of the average weekly benefit rate, unless otherwise specified.
The average weekly benefit rate is not necessarily equal to the amount of benefits actually paid on average per claim established. The amount paid may be less than the benefit rate, especially if the weekly benefits are reduced because the claimant worked while on claim (for more information, consult subsection 2.2.7 of chapter 2 relating to the Working While on Claim provision).
Amount paid
The amount paid refers to the sum of benefit payments that claimants who have established an EI claim have received. In other words, it is the value of EI benefits that were paid to EI claimants.
The amount paid is always reported on a cash basis, meaning that they are reported in the year in which they were paid regardless of when the claim was established. Thus, the amount paid in benefits to an EI claimant who, for example, had a claim established in November 2018 (in FY1819) and received payment starting in December 2018 (in FY1819) and ending in June 2019 (in FY1920) are included in the FY statistics for FY1819 and FY1920. If this claimant received:
- $200 per week for 17 weeks between December 2018 and March 2019, and
- $200 per week for 12 weeks between April and June 2019
An amount of $3,400 will be allocated to FY1819 and $2,400 will be allocated to FY1920.
Long-Tenured workers
Long-Tenured workers are EI claimants who have paid at least 30% of the maximum annual EI premiums in 7 of the past 10 years and who, over the last 5 years, have collected EI regular or fishing benefits for 35 weeks or less.
Frequent claimants
Frequent claimants are EI claimants who have had 3 or more EI regular or fishing claims and have collected benefits for a total of more than 60 weeks in the past 5 years.
Occasional claimants
Occasional claimants are EI claimants who do not meet the requirements for either long-tenured workers or frequent claimants.
Seasonal claimants
EI claimants who had at least 3 regular or fishing claims within past 5 years from the reference year, with at least 2 of these claims having started during the same period of the year as the current claim, are referred to as seasonal claimants.
A claim is considered to have been established at the same time of year if it was established between 8 weeks before and 8 weeks after the week in which the reference year claim was established.
Active claims
Active claims are claims for which benefits are still being paid during the reference period.
Open claims
Open claims are those for which the claimants are still receiving or still can receive EI benefits.
Completed claims
Completed claims refer to claims that are terminated and those that are dormant.
Terminated claims
Terminated claims are those that have ended and for which claimants are no longer eligible to receive EI benefits. The main reasons associated with the termination of claims is either that all weeks of benefits the claimant was entitled to be paid or that the claim reached the last week of the benefit period, that is the last week for which EI benefits could be paid.
Dormant claims
Dormant claims are those that, as of August of the reference year following the reporting FY, are open but are not active.
Combined or mixed claims
A combined or mixed claim refers to an EI claim for which the claimant receives more than 1 type of benefit during the claimant’s benefit period. The 8 types of benefits available under the EI program as stipulated in chapter II and annex 2 are:
- regular benefits
- fishing benefits
- maternity benefits
- parental benefits
- sickness benefits
- compassionate care benefits
- family caregiver benefit for adults
- family caregiver benefit for children, and
- Work-Sharing benefits
Regular and fishing benefits can never be combined in the same claim.
A claim for which a claimant receives both regular benefits and maternity benefits during its benefit period is treated as 2 separate claims in cases where information on regular benefits or maternity benefits is reported separately (as in the case of annexes 2.5 and 2.14, which report data on the 2 types of benefits separately; in this example, each of the 2 annexes would add 1 claim to its totals). Conversely, if aggregated information is presented, the claim is considered a single claim (as in the case of annex 2.3, which presents data on all EI benefits).

2 As of October 12, 2014, there is a total of 62 Employment Insurance (EI) economic regions, instead of 58 regions. The EI economic regions of Prince Edward Island, Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut were each divided into 2 EI economic regions, one consisting of the capital area and the remaining consisting of the non-capital area. Amounts paid were registered in FY1516 in the 4 former EI economic regions in spite of the change in EI economic region boundaries because some claims established just prior to that change had continued to be paid in FY1516.

For the purposes of this annex, a 17-week window is used to determine whether a claim was established at the same time of year as their claim in the reference year. Specifically, a claim is considered to have been established at the same time of year if was established between 8 weeks before and 8 weeks after the week in which the reference year claim was established.
2 In previous Employment Insurance Monitoring and Assessment Reports, this annex dealt with all seasonal claimants, not only seasonal regular claimants. By definition, all those receiving fishing benefits were considered seasonal claimants, and their statistics were therefore included in this annex. For the FY1920 Employment Insurance Monitoring and Assessment Report, for consistency and simplicity, this annex deals only with seasonal regular claimants, and data on individuals receiving fishing benefits are shown separately in annex 2.10.

3 As of October 12, 2014, there is a total of 62 Employment Insurance (EI) economic regions, instead of 58 regions. The EI economic regions of Prince Edward Island, Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut were each divided into 2 EI economic regions, one consisting of the capital area and the remaining consisting of the non-capital area. Amounts paid were registered in FY1516 in the 4 former EI economic regions in spite of the change in EI economic region boundaries because some claims established just prior to that change had continued to be paid in FY1516.

1 The number of workers in a firm is the number of individuals paid employment income by that firm, as indicated on a T4 form. The number of workers is adjusted so that each individual in the labour force is only counted once and individuals who work for more than one firm are taken into account. For example, if an employee earned $25,000 in firm 1 and $25,000 in firm 2, then he or she was recorded as 0.5 employees at the first firm and 0.5 employees at the second firm.
2 These columns are based on the number of people receiving EI regular and/or special benefits in 2018.

Figures from previous Monitoring and Assessment Reports are still based on a 10% sample of EI administrative data (FY1516 to FY1718).
