CERB Assistance & CRA Repayment Disputes
Many Canadians are now being asked by the Canada Revenue Agency to repay CERB benefits issued during the pandemic. We assist individuals who received repayment letters, were told they were ineligible, or believe the CRA has misinterpreted their income or employment circumstances.
If you’ve received a notice from the CRA, we can review the assessment, explain your options, and help you respond with clarity and confidence.

Between 2020 and 2021, CERB eligibility rules changed multiple times. As a result, many people applied in good faith but are now being told they did not qualify. Common issues include:
Unclear or conflicting government guidance
Confusion over “net income” vs. “gross income”
Irregular or self-employment income
Receiving CERB from both CRA and Service Canada
Missing documentation from 2019 or 2020
A repayment request does not necessarily mean the CRA is correct. We review the details to determine whether the assessment is valid or whether a challenge is appropriate.
