Whitney Ebinger, a new mom in Martensville, Sask., has been trying to sort out EI, the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) and maternity leave payments over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. Ebinger had to be switched to CERB payments during the confusion. I'm not eating as much because I have no money, or eating fast food because that's all I can afford. There was confusion over when her maternity leave pay would start and her CERB payments would stop. She said one government worker she spoke with told her that other parents are having the same problem with the switch between CERB and maternity leave payments.
