BC Seniors Supplement

Monthly top-up to federal Old Age Security (OAS) and Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) payments for low-income seniors living in BC. There is no separate application: once Service Canada approves your GIS (or Allowance), the supplement is added to your payment automatically. File income taxes every year so Service Canada can keep confirming eligibility. To apply for GIS itself, call Service Canada at 1-800-277-9914, Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 4:30pm.
