Vanita Lindsay said that she has been told the bi-weekly payments – which have amounted to nearly $9,000 since they started appearing in her bank account over the summer – will stop.
A frustrated Lindsay told her story to CTV News Tuesday, and on Wednesday she got a call from a manager at Employment and Social Development Canada.
"She told me that I wasn't going to get paid at the next cycle,” Lindsay said, adding that she was also told she would be receiving a letter soon about how to pay the money back.”
Paying back the $8.816.20 won’t be a problem.
“I put it all into a different account because it's not my money,” said Lindsay.
But she still has some unanswered questions, including if she will be issued a T4 and if she will be charged interest.
