Venting about EI (2012)

[CANbirdUSman 11]

YES another thread about EI.

I've gone on EI before and understand how it works.

At this point I'd be starting a new claim, requested ROE from 4 different employers, that I've had over the past 52 weeks(1 year).

I work part-time, casual, temp. Once a week mostly. Once a month I might work more than 2 days in a week, maybe 3. The whole point being, that what I've contributed isn't really a lot. Seriously, I'd say $300 max. It's been a rough year, and there was a time when I didn't work at all due to a death in the family.

So, I need some vj advice. I know I paid into it, but really? Is a few hundred worth it? Has anyone just said 'Forget it'... ?

Just the piece of information I needed. At the rate I've been working over the last 52 weeks, I don't think I've accumulated enough hours.

Thank you kindly for opening my eyes.
