The delays in payment of the Canada Emergency Benefit (CEP) are said to be due to additional audits by the CRA.
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) said Thursday that the payments would be made on time, that is, between three and five days.
Some providers may wait a little longer, however, as the CRA does additional checks to prevent payments from being made to fraudsters.
The Agency wants to ensure that the checks are given to the right people.
The Prime Minister of Canada had put forward another hypothesis a little earlier this Thursday.
According to Justin Trudeau, the delays were due to technical issues due to the PCU extension.
Remember that the last payment of the PCU by the ARC will be made on September 27.
After this date, the program will be transferred to employment insurance.
Applicants will be eligible for $ 400 per week for 26 weeks.
In addition, three new programs must be created by the federal government for the self-employed, sick people and family caregivers.
These programs have not yet been voted on by Parliament, which will not sit before September 23.
