About the Wage Earner Protection Program (WEPP)
You may be eligible to receive a payment under the Wage Earner Protection Program Act if:
- your employer has filed for bankruptcy, is subject to receivership, or another WEPP qualifying insolvency proceeding, such as:
- specific proposals under the Bankruptcy & Insolvency Act (BIA) (Division 1 Part III)
- certain Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA) proceedings
- certain foreign proceedings
- you have lost your job and your employer owes you wages, vacation pay, termination pay or severance pay
A trustee or receiver will be named to handle your former employer’s bankruptcy, receivership, or other WEPP qualifying insolvency proceeding file.
You will need to file a proof of claim with the trustee or receiver as soon as possible.
