This independent administrative body provides an appeal process for disputed Employment Insurance (EI), Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and Old-Age Security (OAS) rulings.

The Social Security Tribunal operates at two levels: the General Division, composed of the EI Section to hear that body’s disputes, and the Income Security Section that hears CPP and OAS disputes; and the Appeal Division to hear disputed rulings from the General Division.

Should you feel that your benefits have been unjustly denied or terminated, you may choose to file an appeal with the Social Security Tribunal.

The tribunal’s decision will be based upon Canada Pension Plan and Old-Age Security program legislation and how your particular case fits within those definitions.
