Nice Tasha! Im still waiting for mine but won't get much as I filed single (although I might get a bit more from Feb-June because I was filed as single in 2007 and it changes over in June)

Oops meant filed Common Law! lol

 

[tasha41]

That was confusing lol. I'm glad I just get to file single for a bit!! I'm gonna be off to buy a high chair then with this.. and save $500 hopefully.

How much per month do you get? I only get $79.

I think if you file single its wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more (hence why a trashy girl I know continues to have children even tho shes single, she just wants the money!)

 

[tasha41]

Well I get half of $655.32

Soooo $325.16 per month + $100/month + there's another Ontario tax credit possibly- child care something for working families?? I just got that in the mail to apply for it last week.

I worked part time, I make under $500/month (EI maternity benefits), so I get umm the maximum allowance on most things!

 

[BlackBerry25]

STINKS!

I get $660 every 2 weeks mat pay, but it runs out in July. So back to work I go for the summer. Brian made way too much last year so all we get is $79 freakin dollars, and now we both are unemployed and have to live off of this.

 

[BlackBerry25]

Yeah I should leave Brian and file as single.

[tasha41]

Is Brian eligible for EI? I know it takes a bit to come in but would be worth it right! I'm not sure what % you get, all I know is that maternity is 55%.

 

[pinkmac85]

Tasha I love your siggy!! I wish I knew how these girls made these!!

 

[tasha41]

Me too. I am a talentless loser

 

[tasha41]

Lots of free time lately? Im assuming Elyse isn't as clingy as she was?

Yeah he gets the max amount. Which is 800 and some, and then he can work PT for like $200 freakin dollars, so he works at Blockbuster of all places. CP Rail to Blockbuster.
