Employee Overpayment of Employment Insurance Premiums
 
Complete this form to calculate any overpayment of employment insurance (EI) premiums paid through employment.
 
To receive a refund of any overpayment, the amount of the EI overpayment has to be more than $1.
 
If you have self-employment and other eligible earnings and you entered into an agreement with the Canada Employment
Insurance Commission through Service Canada to participate in the EI program for access to EI special benefits, complete
Schedule 13 before completing this form.
 
Do not complete this form if you were a resident of Quebec on December 31, 2023, and have to complete Schedule 10
(parts B and C) because you are reporting employment income earned outside Quebec.
 
Calculating your employment insurance overpayment
Total EI insurable earnings (box 24 or, if blank, box 14 of your T4 slips) (1)    1
 
Total self-employment and other earnings eligible for the EI program for access to EI special benefits   +  2

Total premiums payable (if applicable):  
Residents of other than Quebec (amount from line 9 of Schedule 13)    
Quebec residents (amount from line 10 of Schedule 13)   +  5
 
Line 4 plus line 5   =  6
 
Amount from line 3     –     $2,000  = (if negative, enter "0")    7
 
Line 6 minus line 7 (if negative, enter "0")   =  8
 
Total premiums deducted from line 4 above    9
Required premiums:
  Residents of other than Quebec
  Amount from line 1     x 1.63% = (maximum $1,002.45)    10
  Residents of Quebec

  Enter the amount from line 10 or line 11, whichever applies.    12

(1)



If you have no self-employment earnings and your total EI insurable earnings on your T4 slips are less than $2,000,
enter "0". However, if you have self-employment earnings and have an agreement with the Canada Employment
Insurance Commission through Service Canada to participate in the EI program for access to EI special benefits,
enter the total EI insurable earnings from your T4 slips.
(2)




If you received EI-exempt employment income (box 28 of your T4 slip) and there is an amount in box 55 of your T4 slip,
do not claim the amount in box 55 on this line. In this case, contact Revenu Québec to get a refund of your provincial parental
insurance plan (PPIP) premiums paid. However, if you are an employee who controls more than 40% of a corporation's voting
shares and you have an agreement in 2023 with the Canada Employment Insurance Commission through Service Canada to
participate in the EI program for access to EI special benefits, claim the amount in box 55 on this line.
(3)

We may adjust your claim if there is an amount on line 2 and the amount on line 3 is less than $2,033
($2,025 for residents of Quebec).
