Can I apply for other EI special benefits?
Yes. You can usually get other EI special benefits right before or after your maternity benefits or parental benefits.
For example, you might be able to get sickness benefits if:
- you’re sick,
- you were sick before your child was born, or
- you have a miscarriage or stillbirth within the first 19 weeks of your pregnancy.
And if your new child is sick, you might be able to get the family caregiver benefit for children.
