New Brunswick Woman Mistakenly Declared DeadA government error led to halted senior benefits in December 2024, with full resolution still pending in February 2025.
- Cathy Adams was mistakenly declared deceased on December 13, 2024, causing her senior benefits to be terminated.
- Service Canada attributed the incident to human error and has taken corrective actions to restore her benefits.
- While her Old Age Security payments resumed, her CPP benefits remain withheld until February 18, and her online account access is still restricted.
- Adams raised concerns about possible identity compromise and criticized the difficulty and lack of clarity in resolving the case.
I'm dead and we need to fix this. There's been a lot of silence on the end of the lines — disbelief silence.— Cathy Adams describing what a Service Canada representative told her when she learned she had been declared dead.
