Employment Insurance Board of Appeal Regulations come into force (except two sections)

Plain-language summary · AI-assisted

These regulations, which establish the framework for the Employment Insurance Board of Appeal, are now in force — with the exception of sections 39 and 41, which await a separate commencement order. The change simply updates the official record to reflect the force-of-law status confirmed by a Governor in Council order. Employers, workers, and representatives involved in EI appeals should be aware that the Board of Appeal regime is now operative and governs how appeals are heard and decided. Sections 39 and 41 remain suspended until a further triggering event occurs.
