Hey guys I've got a bit of a weird question here regarding EI/CERB payments.
I applied for EI at the start March before the CERB was announced and long story short, a week ago a girl from EI phoned me and explained I was being denied EI but would be eligible for the CERB payments through CRA because COVID was inhibiting my ability to work due to my efforts of applying for jobs/making less than $1,000 a week. She gave me the automated messaging service # to apply for the CERB and I did that the following day. 3 days later I received the CERB payments of $2,000 paid by 'Canada FED' but today I went on my account and received a $2,500 payment from 'Canada EI' and am not sure what it is. I've tried to phone them but obviously it's next to impossible to actually get through and speak to someone. Anyone have any ideas on what this is or what I should do? I don't plan on spending any of it because I was denied EI and don't want to be paying back random chunks of money. Thanks CP
