A workplace injury can change everything. For workers facing a long-term loss of earnings, the Extended Earnings Replacement Benefit (EERB) provides critical financial support.
In fall 2025, Bill 144 amended the Workers’ Compensation Act to allow WCB to review EERBs at any time, rather than only at 36 and 60 months. The change took effect Jan. 1, 2026.
To support the legislation, WCB has drafted a policy enabling annual EERB reviews. The goal is to ensure benefits reflect a worker’s changing circumstances while maintaining stability. Adjustments would only occur when there is a meaningful change.
As part of public consultation, WCB is hosting webinars on the draft policy. Both sessions will share the same information and provide an opportunity to ask questions and offer feedback.
