The Canada Revenue Agency says 120 people have been fired for claiming a federal COVID-19 benefit while employed there.
The CRA is reviewing approximately 600 cases in which current employees received the Canada Emergency Response Benefit - or CERB - during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The benefit was worth $2,000 a month to Canadians whose jobs were lost or downgraded as a result of public-health restrictions.
