Seniors residing in Canada should expect to receive a total bonus of a maximum of $2,200 in April 2025. It is possible to receive this benefit in the form of OAS (Old Age Security) and CPP (Canada Pension Plan). These two schemes have been formulated to bring finances to seniors during their post-retirement period.
Such a bonus shall be paid only to persons eligible both for OAS and CPP and in receipt of payment under both schemes. The monthly amount of OAS can range from $727.67 to $800.4 and the monthly amount of CPP goes up to a maximum of $1433.If a senior receives the maximum from both plans, they may receive around $2,200 per month.
$2,200 bonus: Will everyone get it?
The $2,200 bonus is the maximum amount from OAS and CPP. But not every qualifying senior will get all $2,200. How much anyone gets is based on a number of things:
– How much they contributed to CPP
– How old they were when they retired
– What their lifetime earnings were
– For how many years they have been living in Canada
So this is an estimated maximum bonus, and not all will see the full amount.
