Parents added me to payroll without me knowing to collect CERB Benefits

One of the requirements to collect CERB funding is to be employed for a period of at least 5 months ; my parents told me I qualified for this but I thought it made no sense because I voluntarily left my last job around May of 2019 to pursue a post grad diploma. My parents explained that since they are self employed, they added me to their payroll for a long time now, paying taxes and whatnot,only thing unique about this situation is that I wasn't collecting any pay because I had no idea what they were doing. Since we have a financial accountant that files our taxes as a whole, they were able to use my SIN card without me knowing. It has been two months now and I already collected $4000 but I am not spending a dime of it until my concerns are cleared up. Now for my concerns:

1) Is this legal? This seems like Identity Theft to me
2) If this is illegal, how do I prove this to the Service Canada and get a new SIN? My parents practically hide any financial info away from me and I doubt asking them nicely to stop would do anything.
3) Should I be worried? Once I leave my parents house , I do not want their antics legally screwing me.

The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.

All this over a space of a year, no discussions?

Sorry pal, but I call BS on this, CERB fraud is my view.

It seems to me that they are committing fraud somehow, but Im not sure how.
Maybe someone with experience in these matters can explain what the parents are doing..

You would probably be getting taxed at a much lower rate than they are, so they pretend to pay you some amount of money, and pay the taxes on it, but then direct the money to their own account. If they just paid themselves the same amount, they would lose more on taxes.
