CPP vs. Typical Programs

• CPP provides far greater coverage than the typical life and disability program both in terms of the type of benefits provided and the guaranteed coverage of spouses and children.

• Another unique feature of CPP is the long time horizon and process in effecting changes to either premiums or benefits.

• Benefits and premiums for most life and disability benefit programs at private plan sponsors are guaranteed only one year at a time.

CPP vs. Typical Programs

• Previous actuarial studies have established that a market rate for the CPP program, starting new, would be approximately 4.5% of compensation compared to the pre-holiday rate of 3%.

• While historical asset levels have enabled a recent premium holiday, this is not sustainable longer term.

• The future sustainability of current benefits and the 3% premium is highly contingent upon strong investment returns and conclusion of the premium holiday.

Premiums and Benefit Payments
