You must re-apply to get another week

The Canada Recovery Sickness Benefit (CRSB) provides a maximum of 6 payments and does not renew automatically. If you are eligible for another payment, you must apply for each 1-week period separately.

To re-apply, you must continue to meet all the eligibility criteria.

How to re-apply

You can only apply after the 1-week period you are applying for has ended. The application process is the same each time.
