If I am receiving indemnities under the Commission des normes, de l’équité, de la santé et de la sécurité du travail (CNESST) For a safe Maternity Experience Program, am I required to file an application for benefits?

Yes. The CNESST precautionary program For a Safe Maternity Experience provides an income replacement indemnity up to four weeks before the expected delivery date. 

If you receive an indemnity from the precautionary program For a Safe Maternity Experience, you may file your application with the QPIP as of the fourth week preceding the expected week of delivery.

If you are not eligible for the QPIP, you can apply to receive the indemnity until the expected delivery date.
