You can ask for employment insurance benefits for up to six (6) weeks if you cannot work because you need to care for a family member who is very sick and may die within twenty-six (26) weeks. For more information, contact your nearest Employment Insurance office and ask about compassionate care benefits. See Section 8.3 for contact information.
