Chapter 3: Assessment of Income (ii) Non-exempt Income (c) Canada Pension Plan Benefits (Adult Benefits)

[...] Where the regular monthly CPP benefit is less than the monthly Income Support entitlement and the client would remain eligible for a supplement, changes should be made to the recurring pay allowance at the first of the month following the first month of CPP benefits.
