Service Canada is transforming service delivery and offering solutions to respond to the evolving expectations of Canadians accessing Government of Canada programs and services. Improvements to the processing of Employment Insurance (EI) means easier access to benefits and a seamless experience for clients of all backgrounds and abilities, including vulnerable populations.
To better help Canadians access benefits and services, the Minister of Citizens' Services, Terry Beech, today announced the launch of the EI Benefits Estimator to support workers when they need income support during a major life event or through the loss of a job by no fault of their own.
The EI Benefits Estimator helps workers get greater clarity on the benefits that they could be eligible to receive. By answering a few questions anonymously, workers can quickly and efficiently obtain an estimate of benefits and the duration for which they could receive them, based on their actual or potential situation.
This tool is the first release of new service improvements designed and delivered by Service Canada's Benefits Delivery Modernization Programme for EI. The modernization of EI is a multi-year journey to transform the service delivery experience for clients that will be delivered in a series of small and well-measured steps.
