Petition to Change Criteria to Receive Canada Pension Plan Survivor Benefits sign now

The CPP was enacted in 1965 and came into force on January 1, 1966. This 47 year old legislation does not allow a survivor under the age of 35, unless they are disabled or have children, to be eligible to receive these benefits until they reach the age of 65. For 31 years they are not entitled to receive CPP Survivor Benefits.
We, the undersigned, are concerned citizens who urge our leaders to act now to change these discriminating limitations on surviving members of a relationship. There should not be an age limit on when you can be in receipt of CPP Survivor's benefits. Also, whether a couple has children or not should not be a determining factor in a spouse's eligibility. People are not widowed by choice and should not be penalized when it happens no matter what age.
