I missed this back in October, did you?
If you live in
Canada there is a new way of accessing services for seniors, and all Canadians,
in planning for a secure and dignified Retirement.
Canadians
considering retirement can now take advantage of new and improved tools to help
make informed decisions regarding retirement planning and retire with
confidence and peace of mind.
Service Canada
launched the Retirement Hub (https://retraite-retirement.service.canada.ca/en/home)
– a new, user-friendly, online tool that
provides a simple and improved experience for Canadians planning their
retirement. It will help Canadians with planning, applying for and receiving
retirement income benefits like the Canada Pension Plan, Old Age Security, and
the Guaranteed Income Supplement.
A key feature of
this online tool is the Retirement Ready Quiz. By answering a series of
questions, the quiz gives you a personalized checklist to help you prepare for
retirement.
Canadians also now
have access to an improved version of the Old Age Security Benefits Estimator
on Canada.ca. This version introduces new features, including spousal
estimates, the partial Old Age Security pension and the additional Guaranteed
Income Supplement.
In
a few easy steps, you can find out if you are eligible and get an estimate of
how much you may be entitled to, based on your personal circumstances, for Old
Age Security, the Guaranteed Income Supplement, the Allowance and the Allowance
for the Survivor. The OAS Benefits Estimator provides
you with an automated estimate instead of trying to navigate and interpret a series
of OAS tables manually.
