Eligible Canadian retirees and beneficiaries are set to receive up to $1,500 in Canada Pension Plan (CPP) payments in June 2025. This monthly pension payout is a vital financial lifeline for millions of seniors and individuals with long-term disabilities. The increased benefit amount comes as part of the government’s adjustments to keep pace with inflation and ensure better retirement security for Canadians.
Who Is Eligible for the $1,500 CPP Payment?
To qualify for CPP payments in June 2025, recipients must be 60 years of age or older, have made at least one valid CPP contribution during their working years, and be approved for the pension by Service Canada. The full $1,500 is not a flat amount for everyone—it depends on your contribution history, retirement age, and average earnings over your career. CPP Disability and Post-Retirement Benefit recipients may also see higher payouts this month if they meet specific conditions.

When Will the Payment Be Deposited?
The official payment date for CPP in June 2025 is Wednesday, June 26, 2025. Most recipients will receive the funds via direct deposit into their bank account, typically by midday. If you receive CPP by cheque, expect delivery within 5 to 7 business days of the payment date. It is advisable to check your My Service Canada Account to confirm that your banking or mailing details are up to date.
What Factors Affect the Amount You Receive?
While the maximum monthly amount in June may reach $1,500 for certain individuals, most retirees receive an average of $800–$1,200. The final amount depends on how much and how long you contributed to CPP, your average annual earnings, and the age you begin collecting benefits. Delaying retirement past 65 increases your monthly payout, while early retirement reduces it. Adjustments for inflation and disability status may also impact the total.
What to Do If You Haven’t Received Payment
If your payment has not arrived by June 28, first check your bank account or mailbox, depending on your chosen delivery method. Then log in to My Service Canada Account to check for updates or errors in your profile. If there are no issues listed, you may contact Service Canada support for help. Delays can sometimes occur due to banking holidays, outdated account info, or postal disruptions.
