The same people still pay for the program in the same proportions, and the types of employ- ment insurable for UI remain the same, too. "Would I still go to the same UI office to claim?" As explained in the box below, you still go to the familiar locations for both UI offices and Canada Manpower Centres. Watch for changes in your area. Unemployment Insurance has changed for everyone's benefit, including yours. All we ask is Yes. Parliament has decided that the qualification time should be longer everywhere, and that people who live in areas of high unemployment should be given certain advantages over those who live in areas where jobs are more plenuful. Which means that you now need more insurable work weeks to qualify for Unemployment Insurance benefits. Assessment Act, the normal return of the assessment rolls in municipalities and localities in Ontario will be delayed. The Honourable Margaret Scrivener, Minister of Revenue, has therefore extended to January 19, 1978, the date upon which the annual assessment roll is returned in all municipalities and localities in Ontario, EXCEPT those municipalities located in The Regional Municipality of Waterloo where the day "I can see why. But just how long would I have to work to extended to April 7, 1978. Ontario MINISTRY OF REVENUE may appeal their assessments. As a result, the final date for lodging a complaint with the Assessment Review Court in respect of any assessment contained in the assessment rolls is extended from January 19, 1978 to February 9, 1978. In the Regional Municipality of Waterloo the date for lodging a complaint has been Margaret Scrivener, Minister of Revenue T.M. Russell, Deputy Minister In regions of low unemployment, claimants need up to 14 weeks of insurable employment to get UI benefits. This will only happen in places where it's easier to get and keep a job. : In regions of high unemployment, claimants now need as little as 10 weeks to qualify. "Does this mean I'd get less or that the payments wouldn't last as long?" No change in payment amounts. The UI benefit rate stays at two-thirds of your average weekly insurable earnings. The maximum is $147, less tax. The maximum time for which anyone may receive benefits has changed slightly, however. The old maximum was 51 weeks. Now it's 50 weeks. But since September 11, the total number of weeks for which a claimant qualifies has more closely reflected the unemployment rate in his or her region. Right now, we measure unemployment by dividing Canada into 16 economic regions. upon which the assessment roll is returned will be extended to March 1 Pe Bal ae: be eligible?" that you remember your obligations as well as . - : : , : , dependi yhere jour rights.

"What else is changing about UI?" Not much. The basic two week waiting period remains the same everywhere. And so do the rules on the waiting period when a claimant has left his or her job for no good reason or been fired for misconduct. In such cases, a claimant may have to wait up to eight weeks from when employment ends until benefits start. Then there's maternity, sickness and age 65 benefits. Previously, sickness benefits were only payable during the first 39 weeks of the claim. Now they're payable at any time during the entire benefit period. to which you are entitled by law. But you must keep up the search for a new job all the time you're getting those benefits. The Unemployment Insurance Comanission and the Department of Manpower and Inmmgration have become the Canada Employment and Inanigration Conamission. Fora time, you'll still see our local offices identified as Unemployment Insurance offices or Canada Manpower Centres. When they're together in one location, they'll be called Canada Employment Centres.
