When a spouse passes away, navigating the financial aftermath can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to understanding how your Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and Old Age Security (OAS) benefits will be affected.

Joe breaks down the three main components of CPP death benefits: the death benefit, the child benefit, and the survivor’s pension. He explains how these benefits are calculated, who is eligible, and what steps you need to take to ensure you receive the support you’re entitled to. Whether you’re concerned about covering funeral expenses or ensuring your children’s financial stability, this video will provide the clarity you need. In addition to CPP, we’ll also cover the Old Age Security (OAS) program’s Allowance for the Survivor, which offers financial support to surviving spouses or common-law partners between the ages of 60 and 64. Joe explains the eligibility criteria, including income limits and the maximum monthly payment you can receive. This is vital information for those who are relying on these benefits to bridge the gap until they qualify for OAS at 65.
