Did you know you can continue to increase your retirement income even after you start collecting your Canada Pension Plan (CPP) retirement pension?

To do so, you need to be:
• between 60 and 70 years of age
• working and contributing to the CPP

Like the CPP retirement pension, post-retirement benefits are a lifetime benefit and increase annually with the cost-of-living.

Fraud Prevention Month: Stay Scam-Savvy, Canada!

As Fraud Prevention Month is here, it’s a great time to brush up on some simple tips to keep your personal information safe. Here are a few practical pointers for seniors:

1. Be Wary of Unsolicited Contacts: Whether it's a phone call, email, or text, unexpected messages asking for personal details should raise a red flag.

2. Verify Before You Share: Always confirm who’s calling.

Remember, legitimate organizations will never pressure you to share sensitive information over the phone.

3. Guard Your Personal Info: Protect your identity by keeping your financial and personal data secure. Double-check any requests by contacting the organization directly using official contact details.

4. Stay Informed: For more detailed advice and resources on avoiding scams, visit the Competition Bureau Canada's Fraud Prevention Month page: [Competition Bureau Fraud Prevention Month](https://competition-bureau.canada.ca/en/fraud-and-scams/fraud-prevention-month).
