    Check your My Account - CRA

    The special HST/GST credit is already showing up for
    April 9, 2020.

    This is Extra and above the regular HST payment you are getting on April 3, 2020.

    April 9 payment is that special Covid 19 relief payment.

    My Account then
    Benefits and Credits then
    GST/HST then click on
    Payments

    You will see it there. Only eligible low income people who get regular HST quarterly payment will get it. So not everyone will get this special payment.

    @tjthemanto I went into My Account and yes the extra 1 year lump sum GST amount was in the GST credit section. I also checked the OTB Credit-saw an April 9 Link with ? marks for amount and status. Link told me I'm not getting anything extra, but I suggest everyone check the second credit link just in case there's a monetary Easter Egg lurking!

    Lot of people won't qualify for the $ 2,000/month CERB even though they are unemployed and have NO source of income and no income in coming months either as companies and businesses are closed.

    https://globalnews.ca/news/6749701/c...s-coronavirus/

    Students, Recent graduates, Already unemployed people even before Covid striked, unemployed people who have exhausted their EI benefits, some stay at home parents whose kids don't really need child care as they are not too young, people who didn't make $ 5,000 yet they are unemployed.

    Lot of MOST vulnerable and poor people have been left out!

    CERB - $ 2,000/month finally getting exposed in the media.

    https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/un...130049329.html

    MONTREAL ― The federal government should quickly update its plans for emergency unemployment benefits to include a large group of jobless Canadians who have fallen through the cracks of the new system, a report from a progressive think tank says.
    The report from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives says some 862,000 people ― or nearly one-third of the estimated 2.7 million Canadians who were unemployed at the end of March ― will get no help from either the Employment Insurance program or the new Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB).

    Canada's New Benefit System Leaves A Third Of The Jobless Out In The Cold: Report

    People line up at a Service Canada office in Montreal on Thursday, March 19, 2020. (Photo: Paul Chiasson/The Canadian Press)MONTREAL ― The federal government should quickly update its plans for emergency unemployment benefits to include a large group of jobless Canadians who have fallen through the cracks of the new system, a report from a progressive think tank says.
    The report from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives says some 862,000 people ― or nearly one-third of the estimated 2.7 million Canadians who were unemployed at the end of March ― will get no help from either the Employment Insurance program or the new Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB).


    Watch: Reasons why you can’t get the new CERB benefit. Story continues below.

    To qualify for the CERB, you have to have lost your job as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, but 1.2 million Canadians were already unemployed when the crisis hit, report author David Macdonald pointed out. Of those, only half, or about 600,000, qualify for Employment Insurance.
    “If you were unemployed before COVID-19 hit, you get nothing from CERB, even though the prospects of finding work right now are virtually non-existent,” Macdonald said in a statement.
    Of those who lost their job since COVID-19 hit, some 200,000 won’t qualify for CERB because they won’t meet the requirement of having earned a minimum of $5,000 in the previous year, he said.
    The sectors most affected have many precarious or part-time workers, such as hospitality, retail and seasonal industries, where many may not have made $5,000 in the past year, Macdonald said.


    And he sees another large group of unemployed people ahead who won’t qualify for income support: Summer students.
    “Students (who) might have had jobs lined up or are looking right now will see the highest unemployment rate since the 1930s in the next two months, so there is no real prospect for students looking for jobs to get jobs,” Macdonald told HuffPost Canada.
    “They won’t have access to EI or the new emergency benefit because they didn’t have a job to lose.”
    Macdonald estimates the jobless rate for youth will hit 30 per cent this spring.
    System needs ‘tweaking’

    He is urging the government to “tweak” the CERB by removing the requirement that someone had to have lost their job as a result of COVID-19 to qualify, and also to remove the $5,000 minimum earning requirement.
    He is also urging the government to increase payouts from the EI fund, noting that 390,000 people receiving EI are getting less than the $500 a week CERB recipients get, simply because of when they applied.
    “I actually think the CERB system is a good system,” Macdonald said, noting that it was “developed in a week and a half, between announcement and cheques going out the door ― that’s light speed in terms of policy.”
    He hopes that flexibility will apply again in the coming weeks, as the unemployment situation worsens.
    “The feds seem very open to improving these systems as they’re rolled out,” he noted.

    I am guessing all those who applied today, should have their CERB deposit coming on April 9, Friday.

    Because lot of other government deposits are coming on the same day, like the SPECIAL HST Covid related deposit, Ontario Trillium Benefit etc.

    Usually the government likes to club them together to save time and energy.

    Post here your Timeline.

    When you applied and When you actually got it deposited.
