Canada’s supplement is a monthly, tax-free payment for people 65+ who also qualify for the federal seniors pension, helping support lower-income older adults.
In many cases, the federal service can enroll eligible people automatically and mail notice. If no letter arrives 1 mo after turning 64, apply.
Maximum monthly support reaches $1.1K for single, widowed, divorced, or uncovered partners, and up to $676 when a spouse receives the federal pension or allowance.
Payments may stop or shrink if 2025 taxes are not filed. To avoid interruptions, file soon or report income directly to the federal service.
Related support includes options for spouses and widowed adults ages 60 to 64. People under 70 can keep contributing while receiving retirement benefits.
