Section 145 — Employment Insurance Act: Benefit repayment

If a claimant’s income for a taxation year exceeds 1.25 times the maximum yearly insurable earnings, the claimant shall repay to the Receiver General 30% of the lesser of the total benefits, other than special benefits and benefits under Part VII.1, paid to the claimant in the taxation year, and the amount by which the claimant’s income for the taxation year exceeds 1.25 times the maximum yearly insurable earnings. Subsection (1) does not apply in respect of a claimant who was paid regular benefits for less than one week in the ten years before the taxation year referred to in that subsection. Regular benefits paid for weeks beginning before June 30, 1996 shall not be taken into account when applying subsection (2). A repayment must be made in the case of a claimant who dies after October in the year and before May in the next year, within six months after the day of death;

and in any other case, on or before April 30 in the next year. For greater certainty, repayments under this section do not affect the determination under subsection (2) of regular benefits paid to a claimant. [Repealed, 2001, c. 5, s. 11]
