For you tax savvy people out there, say my wife is collecting EI or Maternity benefits, does dividend income count towards "income" which would reduce EI benefits?

The reason I'm asking is because we both collect dividends from public corporations as well as from our private corp and wondering how it affects EI or if it does at all.

Are you keeping something from us FT?

My understanding is mat leave and parental leave EI benefits are exempt from repayment.
