Old Age Security

The Old Age Security pension (or OAS or OAS-GIS) is a taxable monthly social security payment available to most Canadians 65 years of age or older. As of January, 2012, the basic amount is C$540.12 per month. At tax time, recipients with 2010 incomes over C$67,668 must pay back a portion of their Old Age Security at a rate of 15% of net income. This is often referred to as a clawback. The OAS pension is fully clawed back for people with incomes over C$110,878.

Famous quotes containing the words age and/or security:

    When winter snows upon thy sable hairs,
    And frost of age hath nipped thy beauties near;
    When dark shall seem thy day that never clears,
    And all lies withered that was held so dear,
    Then take this picture which I here present thee,
    Limned with a pencil not all unworthy;
    Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)

    In the long course of history, having people who understand your thought is much greater security than another submarine.
    J. William Fulbright (b. 1905)
