Canada Recovery Sickness Benefit (CRSB) in June

The Canada Recovery Sickness Benefit (CRSB) was a temporary measure introduced by the Canadian government to provide income support to employed and self-employed individuals who were unable to work because they were sick or needed to self-isolate due to COVID-19. While the CRSB is no longer active, it’s important to understand its features if you received benefits pertaining to eligibility periods in June.

Key Features (as they applied in June)

  • Eligibility Period: The CRSB provided payments for specific eligibility periods. If you applied for a period that included dates in June (assuming the program was still active in June of the specific year in question), the eligibility requirements would have applied to the entire period.
  • Reason for Absence: To qualify, you needed to be unable to work for at least 50% of your normally scheduled work week because:
    • You had contracted COVID-19.
    • You were experiencing symptoms of COVID-19.
    • You had to self-isolate due to exposure to COVID-19 or on the advice of a medical professional.
  • Eligibility Requirements: To be eligible, you also had to meet the following criteria:
    • You were a resident of Canada.
    • You were at least 15 years old.
    • You had a valid Social Insurance Number (SIN).
    • You had earned at least $5,000 (before deductions) in 2019, 2020, or 2021 from employment or self-employment income.
    • You had not received any other paid sick leave from your employer for the same period.
    • You were not receiving other benefits such as Canada Recovery Benefit (CRB), Canada Recovery Caregiving Benefit (CRCB), Employment Insurance (EI) benefits, or Quebec Parental Insurance Plan (QPIP) benefits for the same period.
  • Benefit Amount: The CRSB provided $500 per week (before taxes) for up to a maximum number of weeks. After taxes were withheld, the actual amount received was $450 per week.
  • Application Process: Applications were submitted online through the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) My Account portal, or by phone. You had to apply separately for each one-week period.
  • Tax Implications: The CRSB was taxable income. You would receive a T4A slip from the CRA to report the benefits received when filing your income tax return.

Important Considerations

If you received CRSB benefits for eligibility periods in June, it’s crucial to:

  • Verify Accuracy: Ensure that the information you provided when applying for the benefit was accurate.
  • Keep Records: Retain all relevant records, such as proof of income, isolation directives, or medical documentation, in case the CRA requests them.
  • Report on Taxes: Accurately report the CRSB income on your tax return to avoid potential penalties.
