The Goderich Signal-Star, 1979-01-18, Page 20PAGE 2A—THE GODERICH SIGNAL -STAR, THURSDAY, JANUARY 18, 1979 Jack's Jottings by Jack Riddell, MPP The Minister of Revenue, the Honourable Lorne Maeck announced GAINS level increases. In January, single pensioners who receive the 'federal Old Age Security pension and Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) will receive an additional $20 and married couples, if each spouse qualifies for GIS, will each receive $10 in their federal cheques. In response to these in- creases in the federal payments, Ontario has raised the monthly GAINS income levels to $343 ($4,120 annually) for siingle recipients and $666 ($8,000 annually) for qualified married couple. Please note that this is the first timLe, that the married rate cannot be calculated as double the guarantee for a single pensioner. This is a result of the difference in the increases by GIS by the• federal government: - The following calculations indicate the maximum GAINS payments to single and qualified married pen- sioners: . Old Age Security, single, $167.21 - married, $167.21; Guaranteed Income .Supple'ment, single, $137.28 - married $114.15; Ontario.. GAINS, $38.88 - married $52.01, making totals of - single, $343.37 and married `$333.37. Pensioners who do not qualify for the federal Old Age Security pension because of the residency requirements, but do qualify for .., --GAINS payments, will .receive the full amount of the $10 and $20 increase directly. Payments for single pensioners will increase to- $343.37 and to $333.37 for .. qualified married couples.
