What is the Canada Pension Plan (CPP)?
The Canada Pension Plan is a monthly, taxable benefit designed to replace part of your income when you retire. You may also qualify for CPP if you are disabled or if you’re the survivor of a deceased contributor. The benefit is based on your contributions during your working years and the age you choose to begin collecting it (between 60 and 70).
The CPP is adjusted every January to account for inflation, and July is a key month for payment confirmations and ongoing eligibility checks.
