Seniors -> CPP Child Rearing Drop-outDid You Stay Home to Raise Young Children?Make Sure You Apply for the Child Rearing Drop-out (CRDO)If your children were born after December 31, 1958, and your Canada Pension Plan (CPP) contributions were reduced while you stayed home or reduced your hours of work to be the primary caregiver for the children, you may be eligible to have the child rearing drop-out (CRDO) provisions applied to your account when you apply for a CPP benefit (such as retirement or disability pension, or death or survivor benefits). The CRDO applies for years when you were caring for your children who were under the age of 7 years. Application of the CRDO will increase your monthly CPP benefit. The CPP Child Rearing Drop-out application must be completed at the same time as you apply for any CPP benefit. If you are already collecting a CPP benefit and did not know about the CRDO, contact Service Canada to apply to get your benefits increased retroactively. For more information, see Child Rearing Drop-out Provision on the Canada Pension Plan Eligibility web page.
