Summary:
The claimant and her husband applied for parental benefits indicating she would first receive the benefits, followed by her husband who elected to serve the two-week waiting period. The Commission advised the claimant that she had to serve the two-week waiting period as she was the first parent to request parental benefits. The judge concluded that pursuant to subsection 23(5) of the Act, the claimant's husband is entitled to serve the two-week waiting period for the parental benefits shared between them.

Summary:
The waiting period is a requirement which applies to all claims including parental benefits except when reg. 47(8) is satisfied. The fact that the pamphlet given to claimant does not refer to a waiting period does not constitute a legal ground to waive the compulsory requirement.
Claimant says it is discriminatory to families that elect to have the supporting male take parental benefits in that a 2-week waiting period must be served by each parent for a total of 4 weeks, whereas the mother who takes advantage of both would only serve one 2-week period.
