To qualify, a person must be able to demonstrate a decrease in income of at least 40% during the month prior to the one in which they are requesting relief.
An additional measure was added to help someone who has suffered a work interruption because of a need to quarantine or provide care for a child.
People who meet these criteria are able to apply for replacement income from the federal government.
