Old Age Security. How does it work?

Описание: How can I qualify for a full Old Age Security Pension?

If you fall in any of the following 4 cases, you will qualify for the full Old Age Security Pension.

1. A person who has lived in Canada, after reaching age 18, for 40 years, qualifies for a full OAS pension.
2. A person who has not lived in Canada for 40 years after age 18 still qualify for a full pension if, on July 1, 1977, he or she was 25 years of age or over, and lived in Canada on July 1, 1977;
3. A person who has lived in Canada before July 1, 1977, after reaching age 18
4. A person who possesses a valid immigration visa on July 1, 1977.
In cases 2,3 and 4 a person must have lived in Canada for the 10 years prior to approval of the Old Age Security Pension application.

PARTIAL OAS PENSION
A person who cannot meet the requirements for the full OAS pension may qualify for a partial pension.
A partial pension is earned at the rate of 1/40th of the full monthly pension for each full year lived in Canada after his or her 18th birthday.
Once a partial pension has been approved, it may not be increased as a result of added years of residence in Canada.
APPLYING FOR OAS BENEFITS
Since OAS pensions are not paid until the individual has applied and the application has been approved by the federal government, applicants should apply six months before they become eligible for the OAS pension. They must provide proof of their age and legal residence status.
Pension benefit payments normally begin a month after the applicant meets the age and residence requirements. There is no financial advantage in deferring your OAS pension after age 70. In fact, you risk losing benefits.

TAXATION OF OAS BENEFITS AND THE PENSION CLAWBACK
Like most other retirement income, basic OAS pension is taxable income. An individual who earns an income during retirement may be required to repay a portion of
their OAS payments. This provision is often referred to as the clawback.
The total amount of OAS that an individual repays is 15% of the amount by which that person’s net income (including OAS) exceeds the Canada
