If you are receiving monthly benefits that began during the period 1967 to 1973, your benefits have been recalculated so that the amount you receive in 1974 is related to the actual increase in the cost of living over the years your benefits have been paid. When you receive your January 1974 benefit cheque, you will see that it has been increased. The increase in your payment will vary from 8% to 20% and will depend on the year in which your benefit first became payable, In future years, if living costs continue to rise, you can expect further increases in your benefits based on current Cost of living data, What this means to you as a contributor As a contributor to the Canada Pension Plan, you are building a basic and portable retirement plan for the future and at the same time providing current protection for yourself arid your dependents against the possibility of severe disability or early death. In order to protect the value of your eventual benefits, the Canadian Parliament has passed legislation which ensures that the contributions you make today will give benefits that maintain the purchasing power of today's wages twenty, thirty or even fifty years from now when you need it! To achieve thiS, the Government plans to have the earnings ceiling the maximum amount on which contributions are paid and on which benefits are calculated — increased each year so that it will reach, and then keep even with the average earnings of Canadian industrial workers, This ceiling will be raised from $5,600.00 in 1973, to $6,600,00 in 1974 and $7,400.00 in 1975. This new earnings ceiling means that the year's basic exemp- tion the initial amount On which you do not pay contributions — is changed from $600.00 in 1973 to $700.00 for 1974. These changes also mean that the maximum employee con- tributions will increase from $90.00 a' year in 1973 to $106.20 in 1974. Your contribution is matched by your employer. In the case of self-employed persons, the maximum annual contribution is increased to $212.40 for 1974 as against $180,00 last year. For earnings of less than $5,700.00, there will be no increase in contributions. The change in the earnings ceiling means that the maximum retirement pension will rise from $90.71 for pensions effective in December 1973 to $134.97 for those whose pensions will begin in December 1975. As the maximum earnings levels for the years after 1975 continue to rise, so will the maximum retirement pensions in those years. There will also be increases in the maximum values each year for disability and survivors' benefits. lt you have any questions or would like further informa- tion, please write: Canada Pension Plan,' Department of National Health and Welfare, Place Vanier, Tower "Aft, Ottawa, Ontario, KIA 01.1.
