Qualifying residents
65 or older should now have
at least 52700 a year.
This is what Ontario is doing
to guarantee that income.
Your Ontario Government believes senior
citizens should now have a guaranteed
annual income of $2700 a year for single
persons, and where both spouses qualify,
$5400 for married couples.
So, if you are 65 or older, with an
income of less than $2700 a year...and
have lived in Canada for at least the past
5 years and in Ontario for the last year...
you may qualify for GAINS.
GAINS is Ontario's Guaranteed Annual
Income System. It is designed to ensure
an annual income of $2700 by making up
the difference between the GAINS
guarantee and income from other sources.
Over 260,000 senior citizens are now
receiving benefits under this program.
If you receive Old Age Security and the
Guaranteed Income Supplement, your
eligibility for Ontario GAINS is determined
automatically. You do not have to apply.
If you are not receiving GAINS pay-
ments but feel you may qualify, please give
us a call.
Blind and disabled people now receiving
assistance from Ontario's Family Benefits
program are also entitled to GAINS.
Any questions? Call us, free of charge,
from anywhere in Ontario. Dial "0" and
ask the operator for Zenith 8-2000. In the
Metro Toronto local calling area...dial
965-8470.
