Canada disability benefit

Got my letter from Service Canada today.
I qualify for the CDB but I had too much income in 2024.
It was severance from being fired.
I disagree about $0 CDB, the estimate I did before was non-zero. :slight_smile:
I phoned them and income of $23000 gets the full benefit.
I didn’t find out what the max income is.
I should get something next July. :slight_smile:

Does anyone know what the threshold is where you get $0 CDB?

I had a $200 deposit yesterday. No letter though. I’m happy!

Sunlife won’t answer me if they claw it back.

They want me to apply for it and then send them the response I get back from the government.

If I get anything then I’ll let them know.

I sent them the link to the program so I am suspicious.

Sunlife said “Please be advised that this benefit has no impact on your LTD (Long-Term Disability) benefits. This information is for your records.”.

I don’t get anything this year but I specifically asked if the benefit in the future would be an offset.

I don’t know if that is all cases.

I would say ask your own insurance company but it wouldn’t surprise me if a front line person says if is a clawback in some cases.

Maybe @David_Brannen can comment.
