From outside Rideau Cottage in Ottawa, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau today announced a one-time payments aimed at helping seniors.
Those receiving the Old Age Security (OAS) benefit will receive an additional one time $300 payment, and those who receive the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) will receive an additional $200, making a total of a one-time $500 support.
“This means that across the country, almost 7 million seniors will get help that they need,” said Trudeau.
Trudeau also reminded Canadians of the additional $20 million investment in the New Horizons senior program the feds made a few weeks ago.
Those who are already registered for the OAS and GIS will automatically receive the additional payments.
