Section 153.121 — Employment Insurance Act: End of benefit period

A benefit period that was established for a claimant before March 15, 2020 — including a benefit period established in respect of benefits payable under Part VIII — ends the day before the first week for which the claimant is paid an employment insurance emergency response benefit. Despite subsection (1), if, following a reconsideration carried out under section 112, a decision that results in a benefit period being established that begins before March 15, 2020 is rendered after the claimant has been paid an employment insurance emergency response benefit, the benefit period does not end and the claimant is deemed to have not been eligible for the employment insurance emergency response benefit by reason of paragraph 153.9(2)(a).
