Canada’s seniors helped shape this country, friend. They’ve been there for us, and now we need to be there for them.

Right now, many Canadian seniors are facing significant health, economic, and social challenges because of COVID-19. Today, Justin Trudeau announced new measures from the Liberal government to provide greater financial security for seniors to get through this challenging time.

This new support includes:



- Providing a one-time tax-free payment of $300 for seniors eligible for the Old Age Security pension – with an additional $200 for those eligible for the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS). This means up to $500 for seniors who are eligible for both.

- Expanding the New Horizons for Seniors Program, with an additional investment of $20 million to create even more programs to help seniors maintain or improve their social support network

- Temporarily extending GIS and Allowance payments for qualifying seniors whose 2019 income has not been assessed, to make sure vulnerable seniors continue receiving their benefits when they need them most.
