FAQs about claims and COVID-19

Updated: December 21, 2021

See our main COVID-19 page.

COVID-19 claims and coverage

While the nature of some people’s work may put them at greater risk of contracting the virus, for example those treating someone with COVID-19, any claims received by the WSIB will need to be adjudicated on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration the facts and circumstances.

  • If you contracted COVID-19 while at work (you have a diagnosis or symptoms of COVID-19),  you should tell your employer about your illness and any medical treatment you received right away, and you may file a claim to determine if you are eligible for WSIB coverage.
  • If you believe you were exposed to COVID-19 while at work, but you are not ill at this time (you do not have a diagnosis or symptoms of COVID-19), please do not file a claim. Instead, you can report an exposure incident. Reporting your exposure is voluntary, but if you become ill in the future we’ll be able to process your claim faster.

Get Your SWAG On in 2022!

Due to the recent restrictions and for safety reasons, we will be delaying the SWAG distribution until further notices.  A notice will be sent out in the near future once these restrictions are lifted and a safe plan has been developed.

Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Solidarity and season's greetings from CUPE

As 2021 draws to a close, we send our warmest holiday greetings to our CUPE family from coast to coast to coast.

We are so proud of what CUPE’s 700,000 members have accomplished through the last year.

Through pandemic lockdowns and reopenings, CUPE members have kept our communities going. And despite the difficult circumstances, members across the country have stood strong in the fight for fairness, at the bargaining table and on the picket line.

We know that public services, and the dedicated workers who deliver those services, will be at the heart of our economic recovery. You can rest assured that in 2022, we will continue our fight to strengthen and grow our public services and ensure no one is left behind.

In the spirit of peace and solidarity, we wish you the best for the holiday season and for 2022. Thank you for your hard work, activism, and commitment.

In solidarity,
Mark Hancock
