→B. Delays
== B. Delays ==
One of the greatest difficulties with EI is delay. The computer is very sensitive to errors and sometimes delays occur as a result. Often the delays are related to report cards, and in certain cases it is possible to get the insurance officer to use his or her “backup manual pay system” rather than waiting for the computer. If this is done, the claimant may get his or her money quickly.
Another solution to delay may often be to hassle the Commission. In extreme cases, you may wish to consider writing to the Minister (Employment and Immigration) with copies, to the claimant’s Member of Parliament, or to opposition critics. See [[Review of Provincial Court and Tribunal Decisions for Public Complaints (5:I) | Chapter 5: Public Complaints Procedure]].
