1. Wait one to two business days, as bank processing times may vary.
2. Confirm the payment date on the official CPP schedule.
3. Contact Service Canada if the payment still has not arrived.

Delays can sometimes occur due to:

• Government processing delays

CPP Disability Payments Follow the Same Schedule

If you receive CPP Disability (CPPD) benefits, your payments are issued on the same dates as regular CPP retirement benefits.

CPP Disability provides monthly income support to Canadians who are unable to work due to a severe and prolonged medical condition.
