They do review your work history and wages etc etc. Its going to be a portion of what you would have made if you working . EI benefits is 55% of their average insurable weekly earnings. If your working minimum wage your not getting that 595.
If your working 40 hours a week at minimum wage your looking at a entilment of 350- 390 a week If they decide on those numbers that's closer to the average of 9 dollars an hour .
To getting that max amount you need to be making over 56,000 a year.

Thank you, I knew I miscalculated that. But I think that still advantageous for lower incomes. Question remains, does UBI equalize things possibly in the wrong direction?
