No, EI does not pay 90% of your earnings. What the new rules say is that if you rarely collect EI (35 or fewer weeks over a five year period), then you're allowed to turn down work but still collect EI if the job offer is less than 90% of your previous salary. After a certain amount of time, you have to lower your standards and accept a reduced salary or give up your right to EI payments.
