CRA says 20 employees fired for claiming COVID-19 benefits while working
Those employees represent less than 1 per cent of the CRA’s workforce, the agency noted.
That review has led to 20 employees being terminated as of Friday, CRA spokesperson Sylvie Branch said in a statement. The statement did not say how much money had been falsely claimed through the benefit program by the individuals terminated or under investigation. The CRA told MPs in February that the money would be recollected.Conservative shadow finance minister says AG’s report on COVID spending ‘requires further investigation’
To qualify for the CERB, applicants had to have lost their primary job or source of income as a result of the pandemic. If they were still employed, their monthly income had to have dipped below $1,000 at the time they filed their application to be eligible.Friday’s statement comes after another tax season that saw the CRA clawback money from Canadians in order to collect on overpayments of COVID-19 benefits.
