I received the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB), now what?

What you need to do to prove your eligibility.

If you received the CERB, make sure to get a letter from your employer that explains why you were put on leave — the reason needs to be due to COVID-19 to be eligible for CERB. It should also have the date and the type of leave of absence (e.g. furlough, lay-off, temporary lay-off or permanent termination).

If you earn some money while collecting CERB, make sure it's under $1,000 in each 4-week period.
