basic concepts  benefit periods  cancellation 

Summary:

Claimant asked that his benefit period be cancelled despite payment of one week of benefits, so that he could benefit from the new regulatory amendments. This would allow him to receive 34 weeks of benefits instead of 22 weeks. Claimant argued that he had not really started receiving benefits since, before requesting the cancellation, he had not cashed his first EI cheque. Argument dismissed. That he had not cashed his cheque does not change the application of the Act, which states "benefits (that) were paid or payable".
