Our mandate

The Social Security Tribunal (SST) is an independent administrative tribunal that makes decisions on social security appeals. 

We’re committed to providing Canadians with an appeal process that’s simple, quick and fair. 

We hear appeals related to:

• Employment Insurance benefits
• Canada Pension Plan (CPP) disability benefits 
• Other CPP benefits  
• Old Age Security and Guaranteed Income Supplement benefits

The SST is separate and independent from Service Canada, the Canada Employment Insurance Commission (CEIC) and Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC). If you disagree with a reconsideration decision from Service Canada, you can appeal to the SST.
