Canadian seniors aged 75 and above are set to receive a monthly Old Age Security (OAS) payment of up to $808.45 this August—a result of a permanent 10% boost applied in July 2022.
The deposit date is confirmed as Wednesday, August 27, 2025, per the official year-end payment schedule.
OAS Amounts & Eligibility (July–September 2025)
| Age Group | Income Threshold (Net World Income) | Maximum Monthly OAS |
|---|---|---|
| 65–74 years | Less than $148,541 | $734.95 |
| 75 years & over | Less than $154,196 | $808.45 |
This follows the 10% permanent increase for seniors aged 75+, rolled out in July 2022.
August 2025 Payment Schedule
According to the official schedule:
- August OAS payments will be deposited on Wednesday, August 27, 2025.
- Generally, payments are issued on the last business day of each month.
Who Qualifies for the $808.45 OAS?
To receive this enhanced amount, you must:
- Be a Canadian citizen or legal resident aged 75 or older
- Have resided in Canada for at least 10 years after age 18
- Have net world income in 2024 below $154,196
Why the Increase Happens & How Often It’s Adjusted
- Payments are adjusted quarterly (January, April, July, and October) to reflect changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Amounts can increase but never decrease.
- The $808.45 rate reflects both inflation indexing and the 10% age‑75+ enhancement.
Related Support Programs
If your income is lower, you may also qualify for additional benefits:
- Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS): Up to $1,097.75/month for single seniors, or $660.78/month per person for couples depending on income and spousal benefits.
- These benefits may be deposited together with your OAS, potentially pushing total monthly support to over $1,800.
This August 27, 2025, OAS payment of $808.45 marks a meaningful boost for eligible seniors aged 75+, combining the long-standing 10% enhancement with regular cost-of-living adjustments.
If your income qualifies and you have the required residency, expect this new rate to land as your augmented monthly pension moving forward.
