Thanks Nelsona.

I can understand the QPP/CPP but why is the private pension from the company is deduced from the benefits.
Looks to me like double taxation!

I applied to SSA benefits and because I worked for 10 years in Quebec I am receiving a pension from my company which I understand will be deducted from my SSA benefits (Windfall provision).
