contributions to the CPP and who are disabled and cannot work at any job on a regular basis. To
qualify for a disability benefit under the Canada Pension Plan you must first qualify for the federal
Disability Tax Credit (described above). The CPP Disability Benefit may provide:
• A taxable monthly payment that is available to people who have contributed to the CPP and
who are not able to work regularly because of a disability. In addition, you may qualify for a
Children’s Benefit (described below).
• If you are eligible under the terms of CPP legislation, your disability benefits will start the fourth
month after the month you are determined to be disabled. You may receive up to maximum of
12 months of retroactive payments from the date your application was received.
