Students and recent graduates can begin applying for the Canada Emergency Student Benefit (CESB) today Friday, May 15th, 2020.
That program was announced a couple weeks ago and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau released further details yesterday.
Applications go through the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) website.
According to the Government of Canada, the benefit provides $1,250.00 per four week period, or $2000.00 if you have dependants or disability.
You cannot apply if you already applied for the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) or for Employment Insurance (EI).
You can contact CESB at 1-800-996–2099.
