As a result of the extension, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) did not stop the payments at 16 weeks and will keep disbursing the cash for another eight weeks. Similarly, people re-applying for the CERB extension can receive $4,000 more.
The CRA will no longer deliver the urgently-needed financial aid after the seventh eligibility period. There’s no extension anymore after the last four weeks (August 30 to September 26, 2020). If you need to apply, do it soon. The sixth eligibility period ends on August 29, 2020. For as long as you as you’re 100% eligible, you still have time to can catch the final payment.
Before applying for the extension, be sure you’re eligible to receive additional CERB. The CRA is validating applications and will reject your application if you fail eligibility requirements. Only legitimate claimants should be receiving the taxable benefits.
Former recipients will not automatically receive the extended payments. You must re-apply for another single four-week period. Make sure you did not apply for nor receive EI benefits or CERB from Service Canada and the CRA for the same eligibility period.
Other valid reasons to receive CERB are as follows: 1) Your work hours are fewer due to the pandemic; 2) You did not voluntarily quit a job but stopped working because of COVID-19; and 3) You’re unable to work since you’re taking care of someone with coronavirus infection.
This next bit has me quite stressed out !!! …
The Canada Revenue Agency has resumed all online services after fraudsters used thousands of pilfered usernames and passwords to obtain government services.
All individuals affected by the cybersecurity breaches will receive a letter from the CRA explaining how to confirm their identity in order to protect and restore access to their account.
The agency urges everyone using its online services to update their accounts with unique passwords they don’t use for any other purpose.
It also recommends all CRA “My Account” users enable email notifications as an additional measure of security.
The first of three attacks last week took aim at the GCKey service, which is used by about 30 federal departments and allows Canadians to access services like the My Service Canada account.
Because of this , I haven’t been able to get into my account and they’ve changed the whole around !!! … You call the numbers they give ya asnd due to the flood of calls you end up on hold for hours !!! … Plus , the Service Canda office that was a 5 minute walk from me closed down months ago !!! …
They tell me this morning that they sorted it out yesterday evening … But that not what I see today !!! … And I use GCKey service …
