What Benefits May Be Available After a Death?

When someone dies, there can be more to take care of than funeral arrangements and paperwork. Depending on your loved one’s circumstances, you or your family may also be eligible for financial benefits.

Some benefits worth looking into may include:

• CPP Death Benefit – a one-time payment to the estate or other eligible person on behalf of someone who contributed to the Canada Pension Plan.

• CPP Survivor’s Pension – a monthly benefit that may be available to the legal spouse or common-law partner of a deceased CPP contributor.

• CPP Children’s Benefit – monthly payments may be available for dependent children of a deceased CPP contributor.

• Employer or Pension Benefits – workplace life insurance, pension plans, union benefits or other employer-provided coverage may provide additional benefits after a death.

• Private Life Insurance – check for individual policies as well as coverage that may have been included through a mortgage, loan, credit card or other financial product.

Every family’s circumstances are different, and eligibility requirements apply.

Knowing what may be available can help ensure important benefits aren't overlooked during an already overwhelming time.

A little information can make the next steps feel a little easier.
