Insurance Plan
Evolving with today’s parents!

If I earn or receive income while I’m receiving parental insurance benefits, will it reduce the amount of my benefits?

Yes. If you are receiving parental insurance benefits, some of your income could reduce the amount of your benefits. You have the right to earn a set amount without any reduction in your benefits. To determine the amount of income you can to earn without affecting the amount of your benefits, calculate the difference between your average weekly earnings and the benefit amount. For more information, see ”Declaring Income While You Are Receiving Benefits”.

To avoid having to reimburse any overpayments, be sure to declare all of your income without delay.

If you earn or receive income while you are receiving benefits, it could be more advantageous for you to change the distribution of your benefit weeks. You can do so by accessing your online file or by contacting the Centre de service à la clientèle.
