Financial Support During Unemployment

To receive SUB payments for unemployment, you must:

• Be an active member,
• Have 1,800 SUB hours in the previous 24 months for the first claim, or 600 SUB hours in the previous 12 months for subsequent claims,
• Be in receipt of EI Regular benefits, and
• Sign the out-of-work list with UA Local 67.

You are not eligible for the SUB Plan for unemployment if:

• You are in receipt of, or previously received a UA-sponsored pension plan (i.e., after you retire), or
• UA Local 67 indicates there is work available for your trade.

To successfully submit your SUB claim, you will need to have applied for Employment Insurance (EI) and gather specific supporting documentation.

First apply for EI benefits as soon as possible after you stop working.

After you’ve applied for EI:

1. Log into your My Service Canada Account
2. Navigate to the My Payments section
3. Take a screenshot of this page, ensuring that the following information is clearly visible: Your full name, type of benefit and net amount paid.

Send this EI Benefit Statement, along with your name and union number, to UA Local 67 Benefits using one of the following methods:

• Email: to info@ua67benefits.ca. Make sure to request a confirmation of receipt.
• Canada Post: Mail your required supporting documents.
• In-Person: Drop off your documents at UA Local 67 Benefits.

UA Local 67 Benefits must receive your EI Benefit Statement within 90 days following the date your EI report was processed. If you provide all of the correct supporting documentation and qualify for SUB, you are eligible to receive a SUB payment for the week of the EI waiting period.

Once your SUB claim is approved, you’ll need to send your EI Benefit Statement details to UA Local 67 Benefits for each week of your EI claim.

1. Log into your My Service Canada Account
2. Go to My Payment Detail
3. Click on the underlined dates for each week of EI under the Report Covering Period section
4. Take a screenshot for each week, ensuring that the following information is clearly visible: Your full name, type of benefit and net amount paid. Remember to do this for every week, even if the net amount paid is $0

Submit this information to UA Local 67 Benefits using one of the methods above. Don’t forget to include your name and union number in your submission.

You can submit your supporting documents after each week you receive EI benefits or several weeks at once. However, please note that if you wait to send in multiple weeks together, earlier weeks will not be paid if they are older than 90 days following the date your EI report was processed.
