Seniors to receive up to C$500 in one-time payment to offset COVID-19 costs



  • 渥太華-近兩個月以某種形式的孤立生活,看著退休儲蓄受到打擊,並且由於COVID-19大流行而不得不採取額外的健康預防措施,合格的老年人將獲得一次性免稅付款最高C$ 500。
    週二,聯邦政府宣布了一項計劃,斥資25億美元將這些支票發送給數百萬的老年人。
    總理賈斯汀·特魯多(Justin Trudeau)表示:“毫無疑問,COVID-19在情緒和經濟上都對老年人造成了損失……我們的政府正在採取行動減輕他們可能感到的一些壓力,”他補充說,仍然有工作要做找到有關如何照顧加拿大老年人的長期解決方案。

  • 誰有資格獲得加拿大政府針對老年人的新COVID-19援助?
任何有資格獲得養老金(OAS)養老金的老年人都將獲得C$300元的付款,另外C$200元將發送給有資格享受保證收入補助金(GIS)的老​​年人。 無需申請即可收到此一次性付款。
聯邦政府估計,目前有670萬老年人符合OAS養老金的資格,有220萬老年人符合GIS的資格。
