Some Canadians are saying their Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) payment has been delayed this week.
The CERB is typically received via direct deposit within 48 hours of reapplying for the benefit.
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) says the actual timeframe for payment is within three to five business days — and a spokesperson says that the vast majority of payments will be issued in that timeframe.
It’s also being reported the CRA has added some new due diligence measures to make sure the payments are reaching the correct bank accounts.
