However,  some of those people are now being told the opposite is true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The confusion stems from people who accessed CERB based on their gross income instead of their net income.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a news conference, prime minister Justin Trudeau said those people won&#8217;t have to return the payments as long as they met all of the other eligibility criteria.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are unsure about whether or not you need to repay CERB, you can contact the federal government by calling 1-800-959-8281 or visiting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/services\/benefits\/ei\/cerb-application.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">canada.ca.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are self-employed and were told you have to repay the Canadian Emergency Response Benefit (CERB), you might be in luck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":353,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[],"news-category":[5,4,6,7],"featured_img":"https:\/\/edpwinnipeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_0600-1200x828.jpg","coauthors":[],"author_meta":{"author_link":"https:\/\/edpwinnipeg.com\/?author=2","display_name":"EDP-Winnipeg"},"relative_dates":{"created":"Posted 5 years ago","modified":"Updated 5 years ago"},"absolute_dates":{"created":"Posted on February 10, 2021","modified":"Updated on February 10, 2021"},"absolute_dates_time":{"created":"Posted on February 10, 2021 9:15 pm","modified":"Updated on February 10, 2021 9:15 pm"},"featured_img_caption":"","tax_additional":{"post_tag":{"linked":[],"unlinked":[],"slug":"post_tag","name":"Tags"},"news-category":{"linked":["<a href=\"https:\/\/edpwinnipeg.com\/?news-category=covid-19\" class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">COVID-19<\/a>","<a href=\"https:\/\/edpwinnipeg.com\/?news-category=edp-winnipeg-news\" class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">EDP Winnipeg News<\/a>","<a href=\"https:\/\/edpwinnipeg.com\/?news-category=entrepreneurs\" class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">Entrepreneurs<\/a>","<a href=\"https:\/\/edpwinnipeg.com\/?news-category=financial\" class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">Financial<\/a>"],"unlinked":["<span class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">COVID-19<\/span>","<span class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">EDP Winnipeg News<\/span>","<span class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">Entrepreneurs<\/span>","<span class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">Financial<\/span>"],"slug":"news-category","name":"Category"}},"series_order":"","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v15.3 -
