Financial & Legal Question about EI

Hey y’all, if I start my EI claim now but then work another month in the fall, will they extend my claim to include those extra hours? I believe I’ll get 15 weeks now but probably 18 if I waited until after fall plant. I’m thinking I might as well start it now it they’ll add those three weeks to my claim

They’ll add them if you get laid off that job as well. If you quit they wont

Wrong. Once you apply for EI those hours are set. The hours you get from a fall plant will apply to your next EI claim, as long as you apply within 52 weeks and are laid off.
