Ontario believes
that residents 65 or over,
the blind and the disabled
should have an income of
at least $2600 a year.
In July, Ontario will introduce a Special Benefits
program. It will place extra funds on top of federal
Guaranteed Income Supplements—enough to guarantee
the elderly who are qualified residents of Ontario
an income of $2600 a year. Blind and disabled
people who qualify for Family Benefits will also
be entitled to these special benefits.
Beginning September 1, approved drugs prescribed by
a doctor or dentist will be available, free of
charge, to those qualifying for the special benefits
outlined above, Family Benefits or the federal
Guaranteed Income Supplement. Drug cards will be
mailed automatically. You don't have to apply for them.
Who will receive these special benefits?
If you are 65 or over
(with an annual income of less than 52600)...and
you now receive both Old Age Security and the
Guaranteed Income Supplement...
