SEPTEMBER 2026: Canadian Seniors 65+ MUST Check This Income Rule — Your GIS Could Change

Описание: SEPTEMBER 2026: Canadian Seniors 65+ MUST Check This Income Rule — Your GIS Could Change

🚨 Canadian seniors 65+: If you receive the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS), your income could affect the amount you receive. September is an important time to review your information and make sure you understand how the GIS income rules work.

GIS is designed to provide additional financial support to eligible low-income seniors who receive OAS. Your GIS amount can depend on your income, marital status, and other eligibility factors. The Government of Canada recalculates GIS benefits based on income information, and your payment can increase, decrease, or even stop when your circumstances change.

In this video, we explain the GIS income rule Canadian seniors should understand in September 2026, what types of income can matter, and why checking your information before upcoming payments is so important.

You’ll learn:

• The GIS income threshold Canadian seniors should know
• Why your income can cause your GIS payment to change
• How your previous year's income is used when calculating GIS
• Why filing your tax return is so important
• How marital-status changes can affect your GIS
• What happens if your income is lower than it was previously
• Why some seniors may qualify for a different GIS amount
• What to check before your upcoming OAS and GIS payments
• How to review your benefit information through My Service Canada Account
• Where to get official help if your GIS payment changes unexpectedly

For July–September 2026, a single, divorced, or widowed senior receiving OAS generally needs annual income below $22,800 to qualify for GIS, while different thresholds apply depending on marital status. The maximum GIS amount is also different depending on your situation.
