An Old Age Security (OAS)<\/a> is a monthly payment you can receive if you are 65 years of age or older. In some cases, Service Canada may automatically apply for an OAS pension for you. In all other cases, you must apply for old-age insurance benefits. Service Canada will notify you if you automatically register. In most cases, you do not need to request this feature.<\/p>\n

Why might I need to apply?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You may need to apply for senior protection. The Government of Canada may not have enough information to automatically register you.<\/p>\n

When do payments start?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You can receive your first payment one month after your 65th birthday.<\/p>\n

What if you defer your first payment?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You can get a higher pension for every month you decide to delay your first payment.<\/p>\n

What is the amount of the Old Age Insurance pension?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You can get up to $648.67 per month (maximum monthly payments from April to June 2022). The amount you receive depends on how long you have been in Canada or certain countries after the age of 18.<\/p>\n

You will have to pay taxes on your old-age insurance pension payments.<\/p>\n

Increase in old-age pension at age 75<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Adults over the age of 75 will automatically increase their old-age pension by 10% starting in July 2022.<\/p>\n
