Digest of Benefit Entitlement Principles - Chapter 14
CHAPTER 14
TEACHERS
Claimants engaged in the occupation of teaching are entitled to EI maternity, parental, and compassionate care benefits during both the teaching and non-teaching periods provided all entitlement criteria for these benefits are met1.
Sickness benefits are payable during the teaching period if the entitlement conditions are met. However, sickness benefits are not payable to teachers during the non-teaching periods unless one of the three conditions found in the regulation2 is met3.
The new rules4 in force since January 1, 2006, as a result of the implementation of the Quebec Parental Insurance Plan also apply in context; they specify, among other things, that a person who is entitled under a provincial plan to receive benefits in respect of a birth or an adoption is generally disentitled from receiving EI maternity or parental benefits5.
