Making change for Katrina

CPP, or Canada Pensions Plan, Disability Benefits, is a program that helps disabled people unable to work support themselves and their families. It is a very similar program to the US’s Social Security Disability Benefits program. Just like with SSI programs, in order for a person to qualify you must have worked and made enough contributions to the CPP through your weekly paycheck. It can take up to three months for your information to be approved. However, if you have a terminal condition, CPP employees will be sure that this process moves much quicker.
