| Employment and Social Development Canada | backgrounders
The Government of Canada is continuing to take significant and decisive action to support Canadians and protect jobs during the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic. The Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) was an important and necessary temporary response to support Canadians, providing up to 24 weeks of income support to those who had to stop working due to the pandemic. As we safely restart Canada’s economy, the Government will be transitioning to a simplified and more accessible Employment Insurance (EI) program, effective August 30, 2020, to provide income support to those who remain unable to work and are eligible, and introducing a new suite of temporary and taxable recovery benefits to support workers who are not eligible for EI.

As we gradually and safely restart our economy, the government is continuing to support Canadians through the next phase of the recovery.
