Is there any provision in the Canada Pension Plan to keep benefits in pace with the cost of living? D.O., Midland A. Yes. All benefits are adjusted annually, in January, to reflect in- creases in the Consumer Price Index. In January 1976 the increase was 11.2 per cent over 1975. 2. Q. My husband is presently receiving Old Age Security and I receive Spouses Allowance. Am I entitled to receive free drug benefits as well as he? M.C., Waubaushene A. No. The Drug Benefit provides, free of charge, more than 1,500 drugs listed in Ontario's Drug Benefit Formulary only to persons 65 years and older who receive Old Age Security, Guaranteed Annual Income System (G.A.I.N.S.), or who have resided in Ontario for the past 12 months. When you begin receiving Old Age Security at age 65 you will receive your Ontario Senior CVitizens Privilege Card which can be used to obtain not only free drugs, but an in- creasing number of special privileges. 3. Q. When'l become 65, I- will have made maximum contributions to the Canada Pension Plan. for twenty years, starting in 1966, with the exception of two years that I was outside the country. Will my pension be less than 'the maximum,, when I reach age 65 because of the two year gap? G.D., Elmvale A. No. You are per- mitted a 15 per cent "'drop out"' of the months in your contributory period. This "drop out" provision, of low or non earnings months, has the effect of offsetting the two year gap in contributions and will leave your retirement pension. on a maximum basis. 4. Q. I am 55 years of age. I contributed to the Canada Pension Plan from January 1, 1966, until January 1975 when I took a severe heart at- tack. My doctors now advise me that I probably will not be able to wok for some time -- if ever. Would I be eligible for any benefits under the Canada Pension | R.T., Perkinyggid A. You should an application ' mediately for a disability pension, as delaying the application could result in loss of benefits. A decision on whether you would be considered disabled under _ the Canada Pension Plan legislation would be made by the Administration. 5. Q. My company has transferred me to England to work for a period of\two years on a special project. My wife and three children will be coming' with me. Is my ~ wife eligible to receive Family Allowance during our, absence from Canada? J.C. Midland A. Yes. A parent who has resided in Canada may be absent from Canada indefinitely and still be treated as though he were a resident in Canada if throughout the whole period of absence his income is subject to Canadian income tax, A child who has resided in Canada and who is absent for an indefinite period may also be treated as though he were resident in Canada if he is maintained _ throughout the period of absence by a parent whose income is subject to Canadian in- come tax.
