Employment Insurance - Can you apply even if recieving severance?
Alright, my dad was laid off back in April. I assumed he was smart and applied for EI but today I found out that he is being extremely stubborn and refuses to even try applying or call the employment office to see if he can apply because he believes he'll be turned down for application since he's getting severance until October.
From what I see online, you can apply and in many cases still recieve EI if you are on severance pay. Is this correct? Has he wasted 3 months of EI with his stubborness? Our family really needs the money but I have to convince him to just try.
Is it possible to recieve EI benefits if you are still recieving severance pay? And if not, it's still quite possible to apply and apply early right?
