Subject to certain restrictions, the Canadian unemployment insurance (UI) system permits insurance benefit recipients to work and supplement the UI benefits. Although this provision has been in effect for many years, hardly anything is known about the extent to which it is utilized and what impact this has had on claimants’ UI benefit period. The main objective of the provision is to encourage UI claimants to maintain some link with the job market, to facilitate their re-employment. The empirical analysis presented here confirms that the UI benefit period of insurance claimants working while on claim is substantially shorter than that of those who do not work while on claim.
