The basic Old Age Security pension will rise in July to $159.79 from the present $156.66. The Guaranteed Income Supplement is paid to pen- sioners whose income, apart from the Old Age Security pension, is limited. The amount of the supplement varies in relation to the amount of income. The maximum Guaran- teed Income Supplement for a single person,or a married person whose spouse is not a pensioner and is not receiving a Spouse's Allowance, will go up in July to $112.08 from its current $109.88: The maximum supplement for a married couple, both pensioners, will increase to $99.52 each from $97.57. Added to the basic pension, this will give each married pensioner $259.31 monthly, or a total of $518.62 for the couple. The Spouse's Allowance is paid to persons between 60 and 65 years of age who. are married to Old Age Security pensioners and meet residence requirements.
