What do I need to submit and how do I access this documentation?

  1. Most recent ROE (Record of Employment)

    • They are usually automatically sent to Service Canada so you may not have a copy. You can obtain one from your employer, or from your Service Canada account

  2. Proof that you have received EI payment. We no longer accept bank statements as proof, it must come from Service Canada. Options on how to obtain this:

    • Log onto the Service Canada account, going to “Payment Information”. This will take you to the “My Payment” page, where it will show each week that you have applied for EI and the amount you received. We require a screen shot of this payment schedule. Ensure you include a screen shot that includes your name, usually located top right of the “My Payment” page.

    • Call Service Canada and have them mail the documentation to you

    • Go to a Service Canada location

  3. You must also be on the out of work list. You do not need to submit proof of this because an OEBAC Member Service Representative will check with dispatch each time.

    • If you are in a training program, maternal/paternal leave, or illness/injury then you do not need to be on the out of work list

  4. If you are submitting because you are in a training program then you must submit a letter from the training program stating the start and end date of the program

 

How to resubmit a claim with the status “Returned”?

  1. Log into the portal

  2. Look at the requests you have completed and on the right-hand side, there is a column called “Available Actions”. For your returned claim, under that column will be a pencil icon that you select to edit your claim.

  3. Add the necessary documents you were requested to add as you go through the same steps to apply, selecting the “Next” button when each section is done.

  4. Once you have gone through your application and added what was requested, you will “Electronically acknowledged” and then click “Submit”.

 

How long will the claim take to process and when will they receive the payment?

The SUB claim is processed by the MSRs (Member Service Representatives) who also take your calls and respond to your voicemails and emails. On busier weeks, they do their best to have them done by end of week (3-5 business days), but it can sometimes take slightly longer (5-7business days).

 

Payments are sent out once a week. SUB plan payments are sent out on Friday, therefore any claims that are approved by Thursday end of day will be paid out to the bank the following Friday. The member will see the funds in their account anywhere from 1-3 business days. The amount of your “top-up” is subject to change until in your bank account.
