Type of Program:

Grants


Description:

The Emergency Income Relief Fund is a temporary support for self-employed Prince Edward Island residents who do not qualify for the Canada Worker Lockdown Benefit and have substantially lost income (50% minimum) as a result of the Temporary COVID-19 Measures announced on December 17, 2021. Self-employed individuals may apply for reimbursement for each of the following periods:

  • Period 1 - December 18, 2021 to December 25, 2021;
  • Period 2 - December 26, 2021 to January 1, 2022;
  • Period 3 - January 2, 2022 to January 8, 2022;
  • Period 4 - January 9, 2022 to January 15, 2022;
  • Period 5 - January 16, 2022 to January 22, 2022;
  • Period 6 - January 23, 2022 to January 29, 2022. 

Comments on Funding:

Applicants will be reimbursed 100% of their loss in revenue, but in no event shall it exceed the maximum reimbursement of $300 per week. Losses will be calculated by comparing the applicant's income during the reporting periods, with the applicant's highest weekly income from the preceding four weeks prior to December 18, 2021.
