00:00Canadians, welcome to our in-depth look at the exciting 2024 reforms to old-age security OAS and the Canada Pension Plan CPP.
00:07Daniel here, and today we'll discuss these essential improvements that could affect our seniors' finances.
00:12Staying abreast with government benefits is crucial as we negotiate retirement planning and financial stability for our seniors.
00:19The modifications to OAS and CPP for 2024 might result in a 50% increase in benefits for some seniors.
00:27In this detailed video, we'll discuss these changes and how they may affect you and your family.
00:32We'll explain the OAS increases, both the usual adjustment and the special top-up for seniors over 75.
00:39We'll discuss upcoming CPP changes such as retirement pension, post-retirement benefits, disability and survivor benefits.
00:46We'll also evaluate how these changes affect seniors' incomes together.
00:51We'll also discuss the rationale for these hikes and their importance in the present economy,
00:55how to maximize your benefits and frequent OAS and CPP queries and misconceptions.
01:01Whether you're a senior caring for a loved one or planning for your future, this movie offers helpful information.
01:07Before discussing the precise hikes, let's review OAS and CPP and their differences.
01:12Canada's retirement income system relies on old-age security.
01:16OAS is a residence-based, non-contributory program funded by general tax funds, unlike the CPP.
01:21Most Canadians 65 and older can get it, regardless of work.
01:25Living in Canada for at least 40 years after turning 18 is required for the full pension,
01:30however partial pensions are available for shorter stays.
01:33OAS benefits can be decreased via a recovery tax.
01:37Most seniors are automatically enrolled in OAS if their income exceeds a particular threshold, but some must apply.
01:43However, the Contributory Canada Pension Plan provides consistent and predictable retirement income.
01:48CPP is funded by mandated contributions from employees, employers and self-employed individuals.
01:54CPP can be started at 60 or 70, with benefit amounts adjusted accordingly.
01:59The amount and length of your CPP contributions determine your payout.
02:02CPP comprises retirement, disability and survivor's pensions.
02:06After reviewing these two vital projects, let's discuss 2024's exciting improvements.
02:12Old-age security pension first.
02:15The government plans to significantly boost the baseline OAS pension in 2024.
02:20The routine indexation process adjusts OAS payments to match the cost of living.
02:24The OAS pension will rise 50% in 2024.
02:28Remember that this rise applies to all OAS recipients, regardless of age or income.
02:33The OAS recovery tax may apply to your actual income if it exceeds the threshold as discussed below.
02:39The 10% boost for seniors 75 and over is one of 2024's most anticipated adjustments.
02:44This top-up was created to help older seniors with greater health care costs and exhausted savings.
02:49Seniors over 75 might earn $1,650 per month in addition to their OAS pension with this top-up.
02:57Permanent raise adjusted to inflation in future years.
03:00Income threshold adjustments are crucial to the 2024 OAS modifications.
03:04The 2024 OAS clawback or recovery tax income threshold will rise to $1.
03:09What does it mean?
03:11For every dollar of net world income above this threshold, your OAS pension will be cut by 15 cents.
03:17Many seniors like the threshold hike since it allows them to earn more before their OAS payments are lowered.
03:23This modification acknowledges increased living costs and tries to help more seniors get their full OAS payment.
03:30This topic should include guaranteed income supplement GIs, which are not part of the OAS pension.
03:35OAS pension participants in Canada with low incomes receive GIs monthly.
03:39GIs will rise with the CPI in 2024.
03:43The data aren't out yet, but recent trends suggest that rising GIs and OAS modifications could benefit low-income seniors.
03:50It's part of the government's elderly poverty reduction strategy.
03:53Explain how these OAS adjustments will affect different senior groups.
03:57Seniors 65 to 74 will receive the usual OAS rise and may be the higher threshold.
04:02The regular OAS hike, 10% top-up, and raised threshold may help seniors 75 and older.
04:08Seniors with lesser incomes will receive the OAS rise, may experience an increase in GIS benefits, and are less likely to be affected by the hike.
04:16These reforms aim to improve the financial stability of Canadian seniors of all income levels and ages.
04:21Let's discuss Canada pension plan reforms.
04:24In 2024, the CPP retirement pension will rise 50%.
04:29The maximum pensionable earnings YMPI is updated annually based on wage growth.
04:33Remember that not everyone gets the maximum CPP benefit.
04:36How much and how long you contributed to CPP during your working years determines your CPP payout and the age at which you start your pension.
04:43Most people receive roughly 60% of the maximum benefit on average.
04:48In 2024, seniors who work and contribute to the CPP will receive a higher post-retirement payout.
04:54After receiving your CPP pension, the PRB maximum monthly payment will climb to USD new per year.
05:00This is up from 2023 dollar current.
05:02Suppose a 68-year-old retiree who's received CPP for three years returns to part-time work in 2024.
05:09They make $30,000 and pay CPP.
05:12This PRB increase in 2025 adds to senior CPP pension, encouraging them to work past retirement age and increasing their retirement income.
05:21In 2024, the CPP disability benefit will increase, providing monthly payments to eligible contributors who are unable to work owing to a severe and prolonged disability.
05:32The CPP disability payment has two parts.
05:35The basic amount that everyone receives plus additional amount dependent on your 2024 CPP contributions.
05:41Monthly basic amount will increase to $1.
05:43Maximum disability benefit will increase to $1 per month, including earnings.
05:48This increase is crucial because disabled people frequently have greater living costs and less work prospects.
05:55The CPP survivor's pension provided to the deceased contributor's lawful spouse or common law partner will be adjusted for 2024.
06:02The survivor's annuity relies on the surviving spouse or common law partner's age,
06:06the deceased contributor's CPP contributions, and if they get other CPP benefits.
06:12These increases ensure that bereaved partners receive financial support that maintains pace with escalating costs, helping them maintain their standard of living.
06:20Let's summarize how CPP modifications will affect different categories.
06:24The exact increase in monthly payments for current CPP users depends on their benefit amount.
06:30New CPPP applicants in 2024 may earn greater maximum benefits, but actual benefits depend on contribution history.
06:42The basic and earnings-related portions of CPP disability benefits will increase.
06:47CPP survivor's pension recipients will get higher monthly payouts based on age and other considerations.
06:52These CPP improvements show the government's dedication to the CPP's long-term viability and sufficiency.
06:59When OAS and CPP hikes are combined, some seniors' government payments might rise 50%.
07:04Those over 75 who qualify for both the OAS hike and the 10% top-up will benefit greatly.
07:09Consider a hypothetical example to show the cumulative impact.
07:13OAS and CPP are received by 76-year-old retiree Maria.
07:18The impact of these hikes depends on a senior's income.
07:21Low-income seniors may gain most from OAS CPP increases and GI payments.
07:26Middle-income seniors may receive most or all of the OAS increase and the entire CPP increase depending on their income.
07:33Seniors with higher incomes will receive the entire CPP increase, but may experience decreased OAS benefits due to the recovery tax.
07:40However, they may still benefit from the increased threshold.
07:43While significant, these increases may not fully offset rising living costs for all seniors.
07:49Financial well-being will still depend on health care, housing, and other factors.
07:52These 2024 increases are part of a larger trend of improving Canadian seniors' retirement benefits.
07:58They show the government's awareness of our aging population's changing requirements and the necessity of retirement benefit purchasing power.
08:06We can expect more OAS and CPP modifications in the future.
08:10These programs are economic measures to benefit seniors when the cost of living rises.
08:14Knowing your rights is essential to taking advantage of these benefits.
08:18These are some options. Check your Service Canada account first.
08:22This shows your CPP contributions and calculates future benefits.
08:26Second, verify your OAS residency to receive full benefits.
08:30Third, grasp YAYs. If you're a low-income senior, learn about GIs and how to apply.
08:36The start date of CPP can greatly affect benefit amount.
08:39For each month you receive your pension before 65, it is cut by 0.6%.
