๐The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has terminated the employment of 120 individuals following an internal investigation into their "inappropriate claims for the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB)" during the COVID-19 pandemic. This action comes after CRA had previously reported the dismissal of 20 employees for similar reasons in June and an ongoing investigation into 600 additional cases. In an update provided on Friday, CRA revealed that, after a thorough case-by-case review, "120 individuals are no longer employed by the CRA." The CRA emphasizes that its investigations and disciplinary processes are ongoing and remains committed to upholding the integrity of Canada's tax and benefit systems, while also striving to maintain public trust as a fair and reliable organization. When instances of misconduct are identified, appropriate measures are taken to address them. Individuals who wrongly received CERB payments despite their ineligibility are being required to repay the funds. Additionally, while most reviews and disciplinary actions are being handled internally, CRA acknowledges that some cases may be referred to law enforcement if there are suspicions of criminal activity.โ . . #CRA #CERB #EmployeeTerminations #PandemicSupport #FinancialIntegrity #GovernmentAccountability #TaxSystem #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews
