EI Verification Process

I02. Determining Financial Assistance – EI Claimant - LMTA UPDATE

Purpose

Canada provides Alberta with access to personal information to assist Alberta to administer the Labour Market Development Agreement (LMDA).  The personal information collected on the Active Claim Information section of the LMDA Eligibility screen is provided for the purpose of:
  • Determining the nature and level of provincial learner assistance, if the individual is determined to be an active EI claimant.


Alberta has agreed that the information provided will not be used for a purpose other than that for which is has been provided.

Procedure
Review Results – Active Claim Information

  1. Navigate to the LMDA Eligibility screen. Information about regular EI benefits is displayed in the Active Claim Information section of the screen.  Review the information as it relates to the period of training to determine the resource available.  

    Claim Type:
      Regular Benefits (includes Regular and Fishing) or Special Benefits (includes sickness, maternity/parental, compassionate care and family caregiver benefits)

    Claim Start Date:
    This is the start date of the claim.

    Claim End Date:
      This date represents the projected end date of the current EI claim if benefits continue to be issued each week.

    Gross Amount:
    The weekly amount of EI benefits before income tax is deducted.

    Net Amount:
    The weekly amount of EI benefits after income tax is deducted.

    Disqualified:
    Disqualification is a non-payment of benefits imposed because the individual did not comply with EI guidelines.  A disqualification prevent monies from being paid to the individual for the entire week during which a disqualification is served. When an individual has been disqualified from receiving EI benefits and the message indicates that disqualification cannot be suspended, the individual is not eligible for EI benefits until the number of weeks have been served.  Treat as a former claimant. 

    Disentitled:
    A disentitlement is a denial of benefits for a definite or indefinite period of time for which no benefits are paid.  As long as the conditions remain unchanged or continues to exist, benefits will not be issued.  However, when notified that an individual has been authorized to attend training , the disentitlement preventing payment will be removed for the period of training resulting in the payment of EI benefits.

    Allocation: An allocation indicates that the individual has received monies on separation (e.g. severance pay or vacation) which did not prevent the establishment of a claim; however the monies will delay the payment of EI benefits.  Information provided by Service Canada regarding the full and part weeks affected are recorded in the Comments section.  

    Note: This space is to be used to record additional information provided by Service Canada (e.g. Dates disqualified; disentitled; allocation amount and/or dates, etc.) that is relevant to determining the amount of financial resources available.
