Pension benefits increased Health and Welfare Min- ister Monique Begin today announced a 9.0 per cent increase - effective January, 1979 - to the Canada Pension Plan benefits cur- rently paid to more than one million recipients. The Minister also announ- ced the new maximum amounts which will be paid to persons who qualify for benefits in 1979. The current retirement pensions, disability and sur- vivors' benefits, paid to an estimated 1,054,000 persons, will be raised by 9.0 per cent to reflect increases in the Consumer Price Index. Approximately 660,500 of these persons are retire- ment pensioners, while 73,300 are disability pension- ers and 171,500 are surviving spouses. Another 126,000 payments are for children who receive benefits as orphans or chil- dren of disabled contri- butors. In addition, there are 22,700 combined benefits, such as for a surviving spouse who receives a retire- ment pension and a sur- vivors' benefit. For persons qualifying in 1979, the maximum retire- ment pension will be $218.06 a month. The maximum disability pension payable in 1979 will be $216.06 a month, while benefits for disabled contributors' children and orphans of deceased contri- butors will be $52.51. The maximum monthly surviv- ing spouse's pension will be $134.28 for persons under 65 years of age and $130.84 for spouses 65 or older. These increased benefit levels, for persons who qual- ify in 1979, reflect the rise in the contributory earnings ceiling (Year's Maximum Pensionable Earnings), which was recently announ- ced by Revenue Canada as $11,700. for 1979. Therise in the Year's Max- imum Pensionable Earnings results in an increase in the maximum amount of money people contribute to the Canada Pension Plan and therefore an increase in benefits. ls bh ne am Te HK oh a » io Bo RAPER ol phe AAT LY a TT Th STN YS AS red Pw gn re rl a et od, NS : AY » - o> a -.
