The other thing, I just started a Patreon for Frozen Tools. That means my "other" income is not zero (though I only collect the money May 1st so I can still cancel everything if need be). Under CERB I would not be eligible yet under EI I would be eligible but would lose half of my other income.
Hoping to get this sorted out by tomorrow night. I'll report back as I find out more. I can't be the only one in this situation.
Apply for EI
March 27th you had your interruption of earnings. So you are eligible for EI.
It will allow you to claim your 'other' income as you submit your reports.
