The GAINS Program - a
type of. Guaranteed Annual
Income System - was in-
troduced to benefit residents
over 65 years of age and those
who . are blind or disabled.
Benefits for senior citizens
are administered by the
Guaranteed Income and Tax
Credit Branch of the Ministry
of Revenue, whilst the blind
and disabled are taken care
of by the Ministry of Com-
munity and Social Services.
In order to qualify for
assistance under the GAINS
Program, people must have
lived ten consecutive years in
Canada, with the last full
year in Ontario, immediately
prior to applying for benefit
(prior to April 6th, 1976, only
five consecutive years of
residence in Canada were
necessary).
Alternatively, one must
have lived in Ontario for one
full year immediately prior to
applying for GAINS and have
been resident in Canada for
periods totalling twenty years
since reaching age eighteen,
or have lived in Ontario for
periods which add up to
twenty years since reaching
age eighteen.
Items considered income
are earnings from em-
ployment, net income from a
profession or business, in-
come from superannuation,
retirement pensions, annuity
payments and other sources,
including pensions from any
other countries, which are
taxable in Canada. Bank,.
bond, mortgage and other
interest hre included, as are
net dividends and net taxable
capital gains, unemployment
insurance benefits, net rents
from property and income
from family allowance. Old
Age Security and Guaranteed
Income. Supplement
payments are included, as
well as payments from the
Canada Pension Plan . or
Quebec Pension Plan.
If the total income from all
sources is below the
guaranteed minimum, which
is reviewed every three
months, a cheque is sent each
month from the Ontario
Government to qualified
recipients to make up the
difference. At the present
time the monthly minimum
for senior citizens is $279.35
(as of the 1st January, 1977)
for a single person - $558.70
for a married couple who both
qualify. The current
minimum for the blind and
disabled is $250, although this
is due to be changed soon, I
understand.
People over 65 years of age
who receive OAS -GIS
payments from the federal
government, need not apply
for the Ontario GAINS
Program.
Their eligibility will be
determined automatically.
Those who do not meet the
residency requirements for
the Old Age Security Pension,
but appear to satisfy GAINS
requirements, should request
• an application form for
GAINS by writing, visiting or
telephoning the Ministry of
Revenue at Queen's Park in
Toronto (M7A 2B3). You may
call the Ministry free ° of
charge. Dial "0" and ask the
operator for ZENITH 8-2000.
If you are blind or disabled
and are now receiving
assistance under Ontario's
Falnily Benefit Program, you
will receive your benefits
cheque each month,
automatically. You do not
have to apply for it. If you do
not receive Family Benefits,
you may qualify for the
special benefits programme.
Applications mast be made
through the District Office of
the Ministry of Community
and Social Services.
Dependents of special
benefits recipients will
receive additonal assistance,
based on the size of the family
and the ages of the children.
This program does not
•apply to the totally unem-
ployable, who have been
transferred to Family
Benefits from General
Welfare Assistance.
Those who qualify for the
speci'fil benefits program,
Family. Benefits or the
federal Guaranteed Income
Supplement are, entitled to
receive approved drugs on
prescription, free of charge.
A card should be mailed to
you automatically, but if you
qualify -for thiel assistance and
have not received the drug
benefit card, please contact
the Ministry - either Revenue
or "Community and Social
,Servjces. Ontario doctors,
dentists and pharmaetsts'
have a r list: of drugs approved
by the Ministry of Health
which may be dispensed free
of charge under the Drug
, 3enef its program-.

is the possibility that, if Lady
Luck smiles in the right
direction, they may be one of
the "Big Winners". However,
the main objective of the
Government in putting this
scheme into effect was to
raise funds for the support
and encouragement of
cultural and recreational
activities.
The revenue from each one -
