What decisions the Social Security Tribunal publishes

We publish many, but not all, decisions online. This helps us be accountable and transparent. To see how many decisions we publish on our website, see our statistics on published decisions.

General Division

At the General Division, we publish decisions for all benefit types:

Employment Insurance decisions
Canada Pension Plan disability decisions
Other Canada Pension Plan decisions
Old Age Security and Guaranteed Income Supplement decisions

We don’t publish all decisions from the General Division. We publish:

all General Division decisions that go on to have a decision at the Appeal Division
a broad range of decisions that are representative of the issues the General Division hears
decisions on cases that might be of interest to the public

Appeal Division

At the Appeal Division, we publish all final decisions except decisions based on a written agreement. This includes:

decisions where the Appeal Division granted leave to appeal and then decided the case
decisions where the Appeal Division denied leave to appeal

Decisions reviewed by courts

If the Federal Court or Federal Court of Appeal reviews an SST decision, then we publish both the Appeal Division decision and the General Division decision that’s related to it.
