Help us support E-Petition e-6403: Calling on government to add a new benefit for seniors raising children

Right now, seniors raising children—like grandparents or other family members—can’t get extra support for those kids through their Canada Pension Plan (CPP). The only CPP benefits for children are for those whose parents are disabled or have passed away.

Sign this petition which asks the government to add a new benefit for seniors (60+) who are financially responsible for children. If they’ve paid enough into CPP, they should receive monthly financial help for kids under 18 (or under 25 if they’re in school). The goal is to help seniors who are stepping up to raise children when parents can’t.
