Service Description
A monthly supplement provided to older adults who have little or no income other than the federal Old Age Security (OAS) pension and Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS). Visit website for details.
Eligibility
Permanent resident of Saskatchewan; 65 years of age or older; receive full or partial OAS pension and GIS; annual income below a specified level.
Application Process
Call 1-800-667-7161 for details.
Must first apply for the Federal Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS).
- The income you report on your GIS application (and/or previous year’s income tax return) determines your eligibility.
- You will automatically receive Seniors Income Plan (SIP) benefits if you qualify.
- If you are entitled to the maximum GIS, you are also entitled to the maximum SIP benefit. An increase in your income will lower the GIS entitlement and your SIP benefit.
- Each year after that, the income reported on your income tax return determines your eligibility and the amount of the monthly federal and provincial supplements to be paid to you.
- Eligibility is reassessed each year in July.
