Is Canada pension and Old Age Security the same thing?
The OAS is a monthly benefit paid to seniors to supplement living expenses. Unlike the CPP, the OAS is funded by general revenues of the Government of Canada. This means no one pays into OAS directly.
Can you collect CPP and OAS at the same time?
You can, in fact, receive your Canada Pension Plan (CPP) retirement pension and your Old Age Security (OAS) pension while still working, but there are some important considerations. You can start CPP as early as age 60; if you're still working at that point, you need to keep contributing to CPP.
What is the maximum CPP and OAS benefit?
Although the maximum employee contribution varies from year to year, it will be $3,499.80 in 2022, or 5.7 percent of your income, whichever is less. For new recipients, the maximum CPP benefit in 2022 is $1,203.75 per month. The maximum CPP contribution for self-employed workers is $6,999.60.
