Home My WebLink AboutClinton News-Record, 1974-08-15, Page 5By j(u'k Riddell, Baron MIT All cheques to eligible per.. sons who are currently. receiving 01$ should have been mailed in. July of 1974. However, due to delays in the introduction . of legislation for the Guaranteed Annual Income System, and the consequent delays in processing ap.. plications from eligible residents, some cheques may be received in August of 1974 but these cheques will cover both, the July and August payments. In Ontario, there are 270;000 residents who are in, receipt of the Federal Guaranteed I n- come Supplement who are eligible fOr GAINS as well as 10,000' elderly persons ineligible for the federal sup- plement but who are eligible for GAINS. For example, On- tario residents over .65 who have lived in Canada for the past five years are likely to be eligible for GAINS. If they are not presently in receipt of Family Benefits Assistance, they must .apply specifically for GAINS. Individuals do not need to apply for .Gains as long as they are 65 or over with an annual Lucerne of less than $2600 and ROW receive both the Old Age Security and Guaranteed In- come Supplement, However, persons aged 65 or over who meet the Ontario income and residency requirements but who do not meet the federal residency criteria for old age security and guaranteed income supplement must make an ap- plicatiOn in order to receive GAINS.

Every person eligible to receive a payment will receive a cheque of not less than $2.50 per person per month. The Ontario Guaranteed Any nual Income System (GAINS) is administered by the Ministry of Revenue, It insures an an- nual income of $2,600 for qualifying Ontario residents who are 65 years or over. In'the case of a married couple where both spouses qualify, the an- mist income guaranteed to the couple is 15200. Blind and disabled people who qualify for Family Benefits will also be en- titled to these special benefits. The great majority of the elderly who are entitled to GAINS are already receiving the Federal Guaranteed In- come Supplement. And as of July, 1974, these people should have automatically received GAINS cheques which will raise their incomes up to the guaranteed level. These qualified residents do not need to apply for GAINS. In order to be eligible for GAINS, you must be 65 years of age or older, a resident of Ontario and meet one of the following conditions: (a) a resident of Ontario on June 30, 1974 and in receipt of the Guaranteed Income Sup- plement (GIS) under the Federal Old Age Security Act from the Ontario regional office of the Department of National Health and Welfare of the Government of Canada. (b) a resident of Ontario for one full year immediately prior to eligibility and either: i) a resident in Canada for five consecutive years im- mediately prior to eligibility; or ii) a resident in Canada for periods totalling twenty years since reaching age 18; or iii) a resident in Ontario for periods that add up to 20 years since reaching 18 years of age. Every person who qualifies under the above criteria will receive a Guaranteed Annual Income Increment sufficient to provide an income of $2600 a year to each unmarried resident of Ontario over 65 years of age and who is in receipt of the Guaranteed In- come Supplement'. For a married couple resident in On- tario with the same -r*qqualifications, a combined in- ' come of $5200 will be received. The monthly increment is the difference between the monthly ' guaranteed income limit and the amount of "Basic Monthly Income" of the beneficiary. The "basic monthly income" in- cludes the "Income for the Base Calendar Year" and any Federal Old Age Security (OAS) or Federal Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) to which the beneficiary is en- titled. The "Income for the Base Calendar Year" is the calendar year ending im- mediately prior to the current fiscal year. (In the present fiscal year, 1974-75, the base calendar year is 1973.) The "Income for the Base Calendar Year" is income in that year computed in accordance with the Income Tax Act, minus any increment, OAS, GIS, or death benefit under the Canada Pen- sion Plan or a provincial pen- sion. This definition of income is identical to that used by the federal government to deter- mine GIS entitlement. , As previously stated, every eligible person will automatically be in receipt of a Guaionteed Annual Income In- crement sufficient to provide an income of $2600 to .a single per- son and a combined income of $5200 to a married couple resident in Ontario, where both If you're NEW IN TOWN and don't know which way to turn, call the 94ibn40/tD, Lrb, hostess at .41$2.7064 You'll be glad you did. tionation
