Do I qualify for the WEPP if I worked for the receiver or trustee?

Yes, provided that your employment was terminated, you could be eligible for WEPP. Please note that to be eligible for termination and severance pay, your employment must have ended in the eligibility period ending on the date of bankruptcy or receivership.

The eligibility period starts six months before a restructuring event and ends on the date of bankrupcty or receivership. Should your employer not have gone through restructuring, the eligibility period is the six-month period ending on the date of bankruptcy or receivership.

Typically employees whose employment was terminated after the date of bankruptcy or receivership are not entitled to termination and severance pay under the WEPP. These employees could still be entitled to compensation for wages and vacation pay.
