Bridging benefits

If you retire before age 65, on a reduced or unreduced pension, you will receive a temporary bridging benefit in addition to your monthly lifetime pension. It is called a “bridging benefit” because it “bridges” you from the date of your early retirement to age 65 - when you become eligible to start to receive an unreduced pension from the Canada Pension Plan.

The bridging benefit is paid until you turn 65 or die, whichever comes first.

Show me how the bridging benefit is calculated.
