Let us suppose that I worked for a company, that I was laid off on January 6 and that I subsequently filed a claim for employment insurance. I was told that I could get severance pay equivalent to 20 weeks of pay so that I would not be entitled to employment insurance for these 20 weeks, although I would be eligible for benefits during the 45 or 50 following weeks. Would I be eligible for benefits after that?
On October 6th, 2009. See this statement in context.
