CERB Repayment: Returning Your Inner Scrooge McDuck
Ah, CERB. The financial hero of 2020, keeping us afloat in a sea of uncertainty. But like all good things (and Netflix subscriptions), it must eventually come to an end. For some, that means repayment time. But fear not, intrepid CERB receivers! Repayment doesn't have to be a Scrooge McDuck-style dive into a vault of sorrow.

| How To Repayment Of Cerb |
Step 1: Check Your CERBitude
Tip: Read aloud to improve understanding.
Before you start packing your ramen stockpile, hold on. Not everyone who received CERB needs to repay it. If you were swimming in dough during those times (lucky you!), or if you experienced a true financial Dr. Evil moment and lost your job, you might be in the clear. Head to the CRA's website (https://www.canada.ca/en/services/benefits/ei/cerb-application/return-or-repay.html) to see if you're exempt from repayment.
Tip: Reflect on what you just read.
Step 2: Embrace the Repayment Rainbow
Okay, so repayment is necessary. Don't fret! The CRA offers a repayment buffet of options:
Reminder: Focus on key sentences in each paragraph.
- Online Banking: Be your own digital Robin Hood and repay with a click.
- My CRA Account: Login and unleash your inner financial ninja with secure online repayment.
- Cheque or Money Order: Channel your inner calligraphy master and write a love letter to the CRA (with a cheque enclosed, of course).
Important Note: No matter your method, be sure to write "Repayment of CERB" on your cheque or money order. Don't want your contribution going towards funding a national stockpile of novelty socks, right?

Tip: Revisit challenging parts.
Step 3: Repayment Revelry
Yes, you read that right. Repayment can be a cause for celebration! Think of it as returning karma's good vibes and paying it forward for future Canadians in need. Plus, it means you're one step closer to being financially footloose and fancy-free.
Bonus Tip: While you're at it, consider setting up a pre-authorized debit for future repayments. Adulting: it's not always glamorous, but it sure is responsible.
Remember: Repaying CERB is a normal part of the process. By following these steps, you can do your duty with a smile (and maybe a slice of your favorite budget-friendly pie).
