Wesley Henry started his campaign after 'not one word of seniors' mentioned in federal budget speech
A now-retired Prince George man has launched a petition calling on the federal government to increase Old Age Security by $300 per month.
Since then he's collected more than 600 signatures and is seeking more. The petitions can be found at the Brunswick Street Senior Activity Centre , The Salvation Army Curt Garland Centre and PG Floor Fashions . OAS is available to everyone 65 years and older. The maximum payment for ages 65 to 74 is $666.83 and, for those 75 and older, $733.51, according to the Government of Canada website.
GIS is available if your income below $20,208 and you're single. For couples the thresholds vary from $26,688 to $37,392 to $48,432 in combined income and whether or not your spouse receives the full OAS pension or receives an allowance. Maximum monthly payments range from $599.53 to $995.99. A perhaps more nuanced and up-to-date comparison can be found online at Investopedia. Upon turning 66 or 67, depending on their year of birth, Americans are eligible for as much as $3,345 per month in Social Security, according to the posting.
