: % i, 26 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, Mar, Pore must rou "NEWS of interest from Epsom and Rev. Bev. Thompson' for income supplement Health and Welfare Mini- ster Marc Lalondé recently reminded the more than one million Old Age Security _pensioners, who- receive Guaranteed Income Supple- ment benefits, of the March' 31 renewal deadline. If pensioners fail 'to re-apply by then, their benefits may be interrupted. "Application for the federal government's Guaranteed Income Supplement, paid to pensioners - with limited incomes, must be made each year. The Department of 'National Health and Welfare sent application kits (con- taining informative booklets and application forms) to all Supplement recipients in late December or early January. Two reminders will also be sent before the March 31 deadline. As a further way of ensur- ing that pensioners continue #0 receive their Supplement regularly, the department will operate 76 satellite offices in small towns across the country between now _ and March 31. The dates, hours of operation and loc- ations of these offices will be announced locally. Pensioners can receive assistance with their Supple- .ment applications at these satellite offices as well as at For Photograph REPRINTS from the. Port Perry Star Phone 985-7383 the 10 regional offices in the provincial capitals and at the four district offices (Montreal, Ottawa, Calgary and Vancouver), i During the 1975-76 fiscal year, pensioners received $923 million in supplemen- tary benefits. This was almost one-quarter of the total $3.9 billion paid to Old Age Security pensioners during that period, Each month more than half of the two million Old Age Security pensioners receive some additional pay- ment through the Guaran- teed Income Supplement program. The amount of Supple- ment paid depends on a pensioner's income. For example, a single pensioner, receiving the basic pension of $141.34 a month, would also receive the. maximum Supplement of $99.13 a month if his yearly income, including the Old Age Secur- ity pension, was less than $1,720... A married couple, both pensioners and receiv- ing the maximum Supple- ment, would be paid a total of $458. 74 a month in pension and Supplement if their combined yearly income, including the OAS pension, was less than $3,440. The Supplement is reduc- ed gradually by other income until it reaches zero with a total yearly income, inclusive of the Old Age Security. pension, of $4,096 ~-for-a- single" pensioner. and $7,664 for a married couple where both are pensioners. 2, 977 USS RO 4 by Mrs. Jean Jeffery The community social : calendar for the spring sea- son is beginning to bulge.
