The death of a loved one is a difficult experience.

When faced with this situation, there are many things you need to prepare for, including cancelling the deceased’s Old Age Security and Canada Pension Plan benefits.

These benefits are payable for the month in which the death occurs, but benefits received after this time will need to be repaid.
