    It seems like a lot of individuals were erroneously told by CRA agents that they were eligible for CERB. I chalk this up mostly to a hasty implementation of CERB, with unclear criteria for eligibility. To which, I wonder how many of these cases were actually done out of malice. That is, what is the likelihood that many of these CRA employees were just following their own faulty advice?
