The timing and due dates of these reports depends on each individual claim. This information will be available to each claimant shortly after applying to EI when the Benefit statement and Access Code is received in the mail.
 
=== 1. What to Include in Reports ===
 
Be careful to include the following in each report:  
*gross income;  
*earnings for the week they are earned, not the week they are received;and  
*All money received and declared should include some reference to the source and reason for the payment since it may or may not count as earnings (''EI Regulations'', s 35).
*Money received from a private or individual insurance plan paid for by the claimant should not be included.
 
The information given must be accurate, otherwise the claimant could be accused of a false or misleading statement. If the claimant needs to update a report, for example to change the amount of earnings reported, they should call the Telephone Reporting Service immediately. The  Commission has a policy that they will not charge or prosecute a claimant for giving false or misleading information if the claimant volunteers the correct information before an investigation begins.
