Whether temporary or permanent, the minute your work ends, you should apply for the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB). Those who have been laid off since March 15 can no longer apply for EI, though you can receive EI benefits once the CERB program ends. If you had been receiving EI over the last weeks, you will automatically be moved to CERB.
