Widow challenges CPP survivor rules across Canada
Two widows, separated by 2500 miles, protest CPP survivor benefit limits that cap total pensions at a single maximum. One Ontario widow expected about half her late husband’s CPP, but Option 2 would yield more, yet she received a lower amount due to a 65 year age cap. A British Columbia widow voices similar frustration, urging change to ensure survivors receive 60 percent of their spouse’s CPP, not less. Mr. Mardon of Investors Group notes the rule limits to 556.25 monthly in 1989.
