Guaranteed Income Supplement - Allowance

The Allowance is a non-taxable payment you can get if:

You should apply for the Allowance 6 to 11 months before you turn 60. If you are already 60 to 64 years old you should apply as soon as possible.

If you were in receipt of the Allowance and your spouse or common-law partner has passed away, you will be automatically converted to the Allowance for the Survivor.
