The federal government has set up a telephone claim line devoted to employment insurance (EI) sick benefits claims for those who have been quarantined or have been diagnosed with the virus. Keep in mind that, currently, the one-week waiting period for EI sick benefits is being waived only for those who are subject to quarantine or have been diagnosed with the virus.
The devoted COVID-19 EI sick benefits telephone line is: 1-833-381-2725
