Employment Insurance Caregiving Benefits Workshop

Sometimes in life, you might need to take time away from work to provide care or support for a family member who is:

• critically ill
• critically injured
• in need of end-of-life care

If this happens, Employment Insurance (EI) has a caregiver benefit available for you. As a caregiver, you don’t have to live with the person you care for or support. You don’t even have to be related, but you must be considered to be like a family member.

The weeks of benefits can be shared by eligible caregivers, either at the same time or one after another.

The EI program offers 3 types of caregiving benefits:

• Family caregiver benefit for children
• Family caregiver benefit for adults
• Compassionate care benefits
