Looks like those who opt for early CPP at 60 get benefit reduction of 36% instead of 30%. Waiting till 70 means 42% bump up compared to previous 30%.

Guess they want to keep us weary boomers in harness till we drop!

well well well, just as most of us were told that the CPP is well and sound for the next few decades, here comes the change in rules...

in time, i wonder if this will also affect all the DB plans that are integrated with CPP - i.e. the bridge benefit one receives before 65 (usually 55-65) for most of the public sector pensions may change as a result...

on the note of break-even point of taking CPP early - 77 was the magic age we concluded in a pension seminar i attended, that is before all this is happening of course.
