Official RFD Thread for the British Columbia Emergency Benefit for Workers ("BCEBW")
British Columbia has announced that its application portal for the British Columbia Emergency Benefit for Workers ("BCEBW"), a one-time, tax-free payment of $1,000 to those eligible for the Canada Emergency Response Benefit ("CERB"), will go live May 1st. It has also provided details on the particulars. Still, though at the time it was announced, working students were ineligible for BCEBW, but since CERB has been expanded, they would appear to be. Nevertheless, those who will be eligible for the CESB are ineligible, creating an inequity.
