=== 3. Pregnancy Benefit Rate ===


The pregnancy benefit rate is the same as the regular benefit rate. All earnings received from other sources reduce benefits. However, no proof of availability is necessary. Money received under an employer’s sickness or maternity plan, other than a SUB plan (an employer’s plan to top off their employee’s EI), is regarded as earnings, and will be deducted. For a comprehensive list of what is and is not, regarded as earnings, see s 35 of the ''EI Regulations''. See also [[Quantifying Employment Insurance Benefits (8:V)#C. Effect of Earnings | Section V.C: Effect of Earnings]], above.
