The CRA just emailed me to say it was factually incorrect for the National Post to conclude 800,000 people were ineligible for CERB.

To clarify, I didn’t ask if the 800,000 people “ineligible” was correct.

I asked for source data used for the tax bracket calculations. 😂

They added CERB claims will be verified, and if you didn’t qualify, they’ll make a repayment schedule with your income in mind.
Not dumping on NP.

Knowing the eligibility for government programs isn't super straight forward. The CRA even said they understand applicants may have made mistakes applying for it.

But like, dude. If you change the premise of the article, add a notice. It's not a typo.
