CERB stuff .. she can be on it, still, whether it is fraudulantly or making more money then alloted $1000.. they are not checking. People took it from the start and are still receiving it even if it was not qualified.
There was 2 ways to apply - through EI portal or CRA account - only the ones that double applied through these have been "caught"
It is kind of EI right now .. if you apply for EI you automatically get the CERB .. there is no waiting period right now, so that means less checks in place to see if it is legit or not.
As for the $5,000 minimum they went after the wrong people - it was $5,000 gross at first - then CRA changed it to net (gross minus expenses is net income) but they changed it to net so those people didn't end up having to pay it back.
I've just spent 3 months doing taxes for scamming, fraudulant assholes that had regular income and collected CERB/CRB .. like literally almost everyone did. I am dead serious. People on welfare and disability collected $14,000 of it in 2020 .. albeit it is a little harder to get on now in 2021 .. but people are still collecting it when they shouldn't
I've seen a 91 year old collect 3 cheques ($6,000), the $300,000 self-employed guy who is still getting it "I guess I will consider it an interest-free loan if I get caught" he says, teachers, a social worker, lots of skids, all walks of life - free money is hard to pass up.
The first Monday of tax season back in February I saw over $50,000 of illegal CERB payments. IN ONE DAY.
I totally believe Chantal could be collecting it - the warnings are strict about paying it back, but it is not enforced one bit .. people know to keep their mouth shut about it. It will take years for them to even know who collected it illegally. Only the working people who received T4's will they catch right away because they put special boxes on them to show how much they made during certain time frames the CERB was given out.
Chantal is not living off of her YT money that is for sure .. she has something else going on, those edibles get pricey. Plus FOOD.
