Your disability pension under the Québec Pension Plan

• Returning to work or an increase in your employment earnings could have an impact on your disability pension. Notify the Régie immediately of this change in your situation.
• If the Régie deems you to no longer be disabled following your return to work, you will still be entitled to the disability pension payments for the 3 months following the one in which you returned to work.
• If, after returning to work, you again leave your job because of your state of health and less than 24 months have passed since payment of your disability pension ended, you will have to file a new Application for Disability Benefits using the abridged form. The Régie will process your application on a priority basis and check whether we can quickly reinstate your pension payments. If over 24 months have passed, you must file a new Application for Disability Benefits using the usual form.
• If the Régie deems you to be disabled again for the same reason within 5 years following the cessation of your pension, there will be no waiting period before payment starts.
• When you reach age 65, your disability pension will be replaced by a retirement pension, whose amount will be lower.
