Canadian Seniors Receive Covid-19 Payment Relief

A senior to denote seniors Canadians waiting to receive one-time covid-19 relief payment.

Canadian Seniors will receive a one time covid-19 relief payment this week as announced by the government earlier in the week. The goal is to help seniors curb rising costs for things such as grocery deliveries and prescriptions. During this pandemic, seniors have been one of the hardest groups affected. This payment is one way that the government wanted to lightened their load. This one-time payment is tax free.

Canadian Seniors Receive Covid-19 Payment Relief, How Much?

Canadian seniors can receive up to $500.00 in a one-time payment from the government. Here’s the breakdown from a recent article below:

“Any senior who is eligible for the Old Age Security (OAS) pension will receive a $300 payment, and an additional $200 is being sent to seniors eligible for the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS).

The federal government estimates there are currently 6.7 million seniors who are eligible for the OAS pension and 2.2 million who are eligible for the GIS. These payments are set to total $2.5 billion.”

The payment is directly made to any senior who is eligible. No application is needed to apply. Here are the payment details from the same article:

“Seniors who reside in Canada can expect to receive the payment by direct deposit or cheque this week, whereas seniors who reside outside Canada can expect this one-time payment in July for those on direct deposit, or by cheque with delays given international postal disruptions,” said the government in a statement.
