I have been awarded a settlement for a wrongful dismissal that occurre in 2013... I was paid out my full EI at the time. It’s now 2019 and I will be paid out this year, I am under the impression from research that I must pay back my EI received. I received 16k in EI and my settlement is for $180k. Would this payback occurred before or after tax?

As your question pertains to Employment Insurance (EI) benefits, you will need to contact Service Canada. They will calculate the EI overpayment/debt and explain the steps you need to take to remit any amounts you owe to the government as a result of your award/settlement.
