Parents of critically ill children benefits

15 Dec 2016

This is referred to as your interruption of earnings; • you have accumulated 600 insured hours of work in the 52 weeks prior to the start of your claim, or since the start of your last claim, whichever is shorter (this is called the qualifying period); • you are the parent of a child who is critically ill or injured, and have submitted a PCIC medical certificate, signed by a specialist medical doc [...] Your payments will stop when the first of any of the following occurs: • the maximum of 35 weeks of PCIC benefits is paid to one or both parents, during the 52-week window; • the 52-week window expires; • the critically ill child no longer requires the care or support of a parent, or passes away; or • the maximum combined PCIC and other types of EI benefits is paid on your claim. [...] If the period set out on the initial medical certificate was underestimated, the specialist medical doctor can issue a second medical certificate to extend the length of time for which the child requires your care or support. [...] You will not have to re-qualify for a new claim to receive additional weeks of benefits, to the maximum of 35 weeks of PCIC benefits payable in the 52-week PCIC window. [...] If you are in receipt of maternity or parental benefits and your child develops a situation where you require PCIC benefits, you must complete an on-line application for PCIC and submit your PCIC medical and attestation by mail or to your local office in order to convert your claim to PCIC.
