****ing Ontario government and EI benefits

[kloan]

**** I'm pissed... I've been waiting for over 2 months for these ****ers to process my EI application...

Checked tonight and it's finally cleared... how much are they depositing for the first entitlement week?

$25.

WHAT THE ****?!?!

Plus they still haven't fixed the damn reporting site and I haven't been able to submit any reports since Jan. 3rd.

It's supposed to be 55% of insured earnings, right? So how they hell did they come up with $25??? It says 'Benefit Rate' is $129 (still, where the **** did they come up with this number??) yet they're depositing $25.

I didn't have a great job, and only netted $1800/month... but I sure as hell should be entitled to more than that.

****ers.

Ya i should be getting some coin soon,just phone it in every 2 weeks very easy.I wonder since the Senate pass the bill to extend EI by 5 more week we will be getting it.Sad how the goverment will give massive amounts of coin to the GM,but not so much to the people.If i get and extra 5 weeks of money i'm looking at only a bit over 1300.00 dollars wow going to Disney land.

[Juicy_brucy]

and the government wonders why we look for under the table work in the mean time.... ****ers.

[Gettin'r'round]

You have to go live in the east coast bro. It should be EEI East Employment Insurance, Ontario and Alberta pay for the free ride others get. All it takes in 17weeks of fishin for the rest of the year paid for with EI! And Danny Williams is bitching and whining about getting shafted by Ottawa for 1billion. Cocksucker should be on his knees showing his deference to the rest of Canada for EI + equalization overpayments and stopping everyone and his dog from leaving. But as with those who live of the means of gov't they are NEVER thankfull and never got enough $ or respect... grrrr

Well a phone call sorted out some of the mess... at least, I know it's a **** up and not intentional... for some stupid reason, it's showing I made significantly less in the last 26 weeks of employment than I actually made, why the $129/week.

And the $25 is because I got the last week of work wrong on the application.

What a mess.......

Yeah, it really does suck... I've got bills piling up that I haven't paid in months.

I checked my ROE and all the numbers are correct so it's actually their ****up. Now I have to try to get them to fix it next week. Pain in the ass.

Oh well, at least I've got $25!!!!!!! (sarcasm)

Hope thing get worked out for you fast.I still haven't even got any money out of EI and i have been off work since the end of November.

[physique]

funny how we as citizens of canada have to jump thru hoops to get money entitled to us, but the first disaster and the goverment suddently has millions on hand to give away.
but it cant help its own citizens in a timely manner.

[macka]

yep lets give some foreign country several million, yet let our own people sleep in the streets.

[kloan]

it's pathetic. they act more like a low rate car insurance company than a provincial government. they treat us like they're doing us a huge favour by paying out EI, but last time i checked we pay into it.. it's INSURANCE. it's not money for nothing for f's sake.. it's not welfare.

I only ever went through the system when I was 19 I think. I had been working at the same place for my high school life, then had quit to start University...I will never forget that it took the ****ers 2 months to send me money, MY MONEY!!! I ended up hitting my old employment part time again....it was ridiculous to say the least.

And over the years I have heard the nightmares....you have more chances at getting a hooker trany at 2PM Monday in Vanier,than to be able to get any money on a timely manner from the Gov, and the right amount.

Get back into the workforce----good luck with your case..I know it can be frustrating. :(

i am running a open claim no since we a that D3 are on and off layoff weeks.Anyway i opened my claim then tried to get through on there 1 800 number cause i filled out my claim wrong./It ran past my due dates for up dating the claim u know they shut dwn my claim for almost a month before they just reopened it again!!And i had to constanly call them to ask why the claim hasent opened yet!!

[kloan]

bunch of assholes running the show.... i still havent heard from them either.

have to remember the damn time difference here so i can get them before the lazy ****ers go home for the day (close at 4:30pm)

sounds like its routine to screw people over.

[St]

Just got my first EI in my account today,with that amount i can work at a min wage job and have more in my pocket,guess i will be working before this money runs out by the fall.

[rufusrocks]

i may be down that path in 2 weeks... not looking forward to it. hope the Big Guy upstairs opens a door or two.

[kloan]

aaaghgghhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!

**** these stupid lying mother****ers. i have a photocopied ROE and my numbers are correct yet the chick on the phone tells me the scanned copy they have (same one i have a photocopy of) has completely different numbers. i even got the accountant from my previous employer to double check, and i have the same numbers he does... so how the **** did they come up with their numbers? what did they do, white out the numbers and write their own in??? man this pisses me off......

[ironwill]

I feel bad for you guys......I had to go on ei back when i was in school doing my trades tickets every yr....and every yr it was the same shit, save up for 9 months to go to school for 3 months, by the time i was done school i recvd my first check when i was back at work, rediculous....it was a very depressing time of my life, literally ate those noodle soups and rice and once in awhile meat that was very cheap and on sale and raided my parents freezer for wild meat and suffered....couldnt afford didley squat....
it was a character bldg experience i havent forgotten, i am still always preparing for bad times as i had them for so long, for the longest time i would never let my bills surpass what my pogey checks would equal for the month...
Good luck guys, i feel your pain.....

[kloan]

well it's FINALLY fixed. two complaints apparently weren't good enough (they supposedly sent in a recalculate request each time)... third one finally seemed to make the difference... she went as far to add a note requesting a supervisor make sure this was done.

i'm finally getting the backpay deposited in my account and i'll be receiving the proper benefit rate.

unbelieveable BS. i'm glad it's done and over with... shit was really gettin on my nerves.

good luck to you guys, hope it works out! keep at it and don't stop bugging them... seems they like to drag their feet and will never do anything if you don't keep insisting.
