MARDON Several readers have expressed surprise, even disbelief, that even when they qualify for Canada Pension Plan payment', they won't get the money unless they apply for it. But that is the law, Despite all their computers, the federal government does not know for sure if or when you may qualify for CPP monthly pension pay- ments. It is for this reason that the government asks you to apply in writing or in person to your closest Health and Welfare department office for the pension. You automatically qualify for the CPP if you are 65 years of age or older and you have made one or more valid contributions to the pension plan. One thing to keep in mind is that you may apply for the CPP retirement income benefit one year prior to your 65th birthday, but payments won't begin until the month following that birthdate. Another important point to re- member is that you may receive CPP payments whether or not you continue to work. However, if you are 65 years old but haven't reach age 70, you have the option to delay receipt of your pension benefits. In other words, you may continue in the work force after 65 and continue to contribute to the CPP, up until you reach 70. This may be beneficial to you, REAL ESTATE financially, but before you make such a decision you should consult either a professional financial planner or the staff at your nearest Income Security Programs office. (ISP offices are a branch of the Health and Welfare department.) Depending upon your financial circumstances, it may not be to your advantage to postpone receipt of your CPP payments. In due course every Canadian will receive from Ottawa a CPP Contributor Statement which will report the amount of CPP benefit payable at age 65, The basic monthly amount payable is equal to 25 per cent of your average monthly "pensionable earnings." Here's where things start to become complicated. First of all, the amount you contribute to the CPP is based upon your earnings. These are your so-called "pension- able earnings" which don't neces- sarily coincide with your actual earnings. That is because Ottawa has set a ceiling of $20,900 per year for inflation-adjusted pensionable earnings. So, right now the maximum CPP benefit you can receive is $435.42 per month, or about $5,225 a year (which is about 25 per cent of $20,900). It is not a grand amount. However, ifyou are 65 years old you are also entitled to the Old Age Security (OAS) pension. Right now REAL ESTATE that pension is worth $282.94 per month. Therefore, if you qualify for the maximum CPP benefit plus the OAS pension, you would be entitled toreceive a total of $718.36 per month, or $8,620.32 per year. That level of income is below the poverty line, which is why indivi- duals should undertake their own savings and investment program aimed at generating additional retirement income. The earlier you start on such a program, the more money you will accumulate in order to enjoy a retirement free of money worries. If you work for a company, you probably have the opportunity to belong to a company pension plan. Even if it's not compulsory to join such a plan, you are well advised to join it. Your payments to the plan are tax deductible. If you are self-employed, then it is up to you to put money aside in a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) and thereby build up a handsome sum of money which will provide you with income for your retirement years.
