Grr
We just got a letter from Service Canada telling my husband that he misclaimed something on his parental leave two years ago. They are claiming that he claimed he made $0 two pay periods in a row, when in fact he drew a wage from his work. They are asking us to prove that he didn't take pay from his work during this time or else return the benefits (and possibly a penalty).
The thing is- he did work during this time, but I'm sure he DIDN'T claim parental benefits. He was back to work and, as I'm the one who put in his claim stuff, I'm sure I wasn't still doing his reporting for parental leave when he was back at work.
How do I tell EI and prove to them that their records are wrong? I guess I can get bank statements from two years ago? Annoying. The only thing I can figure is that we stopped reporting altogether and they still had his parental leave open (I think he might have returned early, now that I think about it) and because he stopped reporting, it defaulted in the system to declaring 0? But he wouldn't have received benefits if he stopped reporting, so it shouldn't be a big deal, right?
Re: Grr
I would call them for sure. I don't really know where it could go from there though ... sorry!
I deal with Service Canada all the time for work and if someone owes them 5 bucks they will come after it. We recently got re-assessed from a couple years back and it sucked because my FH forgot to report T4A for a apprenticeship credit he received. What he would of paid out at the time would of bee $250 turned into $500.
I went off mat leave a month ago and shortly after I got a letter from SC asking me to complete a form about how much money I was making etc etc. WTF? Maybe because I have time left on my mat leave that I could still use?
I would call them and explain it to them and see what they say.
Huh. That sounds like our situation- still having time left and not taking it. Hopefully that's the problem. My husband had originally booked 12 weeks because his work had been making him work out of town towards the end of my pregnancy. But 6 weeks after our son was born (8 or 9 weeks after he started parental, he went on parental early so he could be at home for the birth) they transferred him back home so he went back to work early. Hopefully that's the problem.
