NC)—The best way for low-income seniors to keep up their eligibility for the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) is to file an income tax return by April 30 every year even if they have no reportable income.

Topics :: Service Canada Centres , Canada Revenue Agency , Old Age Security

( The GIS provides monthly, non-taxable income to low-income seniors who are receiving Old Age Security benefits. It must be renewed every year because it is based on income and marital status.

For more information on the GIS or to request an application, call Service Canada at 1-800-277-9914 for service in English, or 1-800-277-9915 for service in French. You can also visit servicecanada.ca or drop into one of more than 320 Service Canada Centres across the country.

Tax volunteers at the Canada Revenue Agency are also available to help seniors with tax filing. For information about where to get assistance in filing an income tax return in your area, contact the the Canada Revenue Agency toll-free at 1-800-959-8281.
