Alberta
On March 18, 2020, the Alberta Government announced a $50
million investment in Albertans affected by COVID-19.
The Alberta Government COVID-19 Economic Response Plan for
Albertans and employers and employees can be found here.
Income and Support for Individuals
Emergency isolation support
Eligible working Albertans can receive a one-time emergency
isolation support payment of $1,146 if they are required to
self-isolate, or are the sole caregiver of someone in
self-isolation and they have no other source of pay or
compensation.
This is a temporary program to bridge the gap until the Federal Emergency Care Benefit is
available in April.
If you are eligible for federal Employment Insurance benefits,
you are strongly encouraged to apply immediately.
