:blink: Who told you that she would be ineligible for EI? That sounds wrong, I mean I know to qualify for EI you need insurable hours (which in theory she wouldn't have accumulated on mat leave) but I could swear I remember some sort of exemption for people in this exact situation.

I'll ask the EI expert at the office tomorrow, PM me her # of hours worked in the year before going on mat leave and whether she took the full mat leave allotment, something sounds screwy.
