Thank you for your question!

 

As per CRA:

 

Canada Recovery Caregiving Benefit (CRCB)

Eligibility period limits are extended

Eligible CRCB recipients can now apply for a total of 42 weeks between September 27, 2020 and September 25, 2021.

The Canada Recovery Caregiving Benefit (CRCB) gives income support to employed and self-employed individuals who are unable to work because they must care for their child under 12 years old or a family member who needs supervised care. This applies if their school, regular program or facility is closed or unavailable to them due to COVID-19, or because they are sick, self-isolating, or at risk of serious health complications due to COVID-19. The CRCB is administered by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).

If you are eligible for the CRCB, your household can receive $500 ($450 after taxes withheld) for each 1-week period.

If your situation continues past 1 week, you will need to apply again. Each household may apply up to a total of 42 weeks between September 27, 2020 and September 25, 2021.
