Une partie de la prestation de l'AC (Allocation au conjoint) est égale à la pension de base de la SV (Sécurité de la vieillesse); le maximum de cette partie est calculé selon les mêmes règles que celles appliquées pour calculer la pension de base de la SV. Toutefois, lorsque le calcul des années de résidence au Canada donne droit à une pension partielle seulement, le montant de cette composante de l'AC peut être majoré pour chaque année supplémentaire de résidence au Canada pendant que le bénéficiaire de l'AC est âgé de 60 à 64 ans inclusivement. 1, record 2, French, - pension%20de%20base%20de%20la%20SV
