The latest CPP and OAS payments hit bank accounts Friday
Most older Canadians who qualify will see more money in their bank accounts as of Friday, with the latest scheduled Canada Pension Plan and Old Age Security benefit payments.
The latest Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and Old Age Security (OAS) payments will be deposited into bank accounts as of Friday. Both are federal government programs designed to provide financial support for older Canadians, but they have distinct qualifying criteria and payment amounts. CPP payments are for those who have contributed to the program through their employment or self-employment, while OAS is available to Canadians who are at least 65 years old, citizens or legal residents, and have lived in Canada for at least 10 years since age 18.
CPP payments are sent electronically to those with direct deposit and paper cheques may take longer to arrive for others. On the other hand, OAS payments are also electronically deposited but can be reduced if a recipient's income exceeds certain thresholds. The maximum CPP payment for 2026 is $1,507.65 per month, while OAS payments can reach up to $827.17 for those aged 75 and older.
