It's Getting Scarry In Canada: CERB update: Recently, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has been asking Canadians who received government relief checks from the COVID program ( Canada Emergency Response Benefit ) or CERB to return those checks. If you've received a government relief check from COVID, please be sure to immediately contact the CRA to discuss your situation.  Since the COVID program ended in May of this year, many Canadians have received government relief checks in the form of cheques. If you've received a government relief cheque from COVID, please be sure to deposit that cheque into your bank account as soon as possible. If you haven't deposited the check yet, you can use the online deposit service to submit your cheque.
