For example, Ontario 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 income of less than $2600 and now receive both the Old Age Security and Guaranteed Income Supplement. However, persons aged 65 or over who meet the Ontario in- come and residency requirements but who do not meet the federal residency criteria for old age security and guaranteed income supplement tamed on the tenth floor a the Ministry of Revenue Offices at 801 Bay Street (Bay and College), er at local field offices of the Ministry of Community and. Social Services, or at offices of the Northern Affairs Branch of the Ministry of Natural Resources, Questions and problems should be directed to Ontario Guaran- teed Annual Income, Ministry of Revenue, Toronto. For residents within the Metro Toronto area, the telephone number is 965-8470, Anyone can call toll-free from out- of-town by dialing "0" and asking the operator for Zenith 8.2000, The Ministry will be glad to answer any inquiries. Next week, I will discuss the companion program of GAINS, the Drug Benefit Plan, which will begin on September 1, 1974, must make an application in order to receive GAINS. Applications may be obtained by writing to: Ontario Guaranteed Anoual Income Ministry of Revenue Queen's Park Toronto, Ontartio M7A 2B3 or by telephoning 965-8470 within the Metro Toronto local calling area or outside of that area, telephone '0" and ask for the operator for Zenith 8-2000 (free of charge). If assistance is required, in completing an Ontario Guaranteed Annual Income application form, it can be ob- Ontario over 65 years of age and who is in receipt of the Guaranteed Income Supplement. For a married couple ,resident in Ontario with the same qualifications, 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 in- come" 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 entitled. The "income for the base calendar year" is the calendar year ending immediately 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 ac- cordance with the Income Tax Act, minus any increment, OAS, GIS or death benefit under the Canada Pension Plan or a provincial pension. This definition of income is identical to that used by the federal govern- ment to determine GIS en- titlement. As previously stated, every eligible person will automatically be in receipt of a Guaranteed Annual Income Increment suf- ficient to provide an income of $2600 to a single person and a combined income of $5200 to a married couple resident in Ontario, where both spouses qualify for the guaranteed in- come. Every person eligible to receive a payment will receive a cheque of not less than $2,50 per person per month. All cheques to eligible persons who are currently receiving GIS should have been mailed in July of 1974. However, due to delays in The Ontario Guarantee,. Annual Income System (GAINS) is administered by the Ministry of Revenue. It insures an annual income of $2,600 for qualifying Ontario residents who are 65 years or over. In the ease of a married couple where both spouses qualify, the annual income guaranteed to the couple is $5200. 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 Income Supplement. And as of July 1974, these people should have automatically received GAINS cheques which will raise their incomes up to the guaranteed level.
