How does the Transitional Assistance Program affect my eligibility for Employment Insurance (EI)?
A. If you are receiving EI benefits, you will have these benefits stopped effective the date you choose as your resignation/retirement date. Since each case is unique, we strongly encourage you to contact your Service Canada centre or call the EI Telecentre at 1-800-206-7218 to clarify your situation before you apply. You will be entirely responsible for any EI benefits overpayments that may occur as a result of receiving Transitional Assistance Program funding.
