Seniors with low-income can get financial assistance to help afford the cost of appliances and specific health and personal supports.
To be eligible for this program you must:
If you or your spouse, or both, have deferred receiving the Old Age Security pension, you are not eligible for Special Needs Assistance for Seniors.
The maximum assistance available in a benefit year is $5,412. The amount you may be eligible to receive is determined by:
In general, a single senior with a total annual income of $29,630 or less, or a senior couple with a total combined annual income of $48,120 or less, may be eligible to receive assistance.
Your (and your spouse or partner’s) total income, line 15000 of your previous year’s income tax return(s), is used to determine your eligibility for the current year’s benefits.
The Special Needs Assistance for Seniors program operates on a continuous intake basis. Eligible seniors can apply for the overarching Seniors Financial Assistance programs at any time, which then allows them to submit claims for eligible expenses under the SNA program. The benefit year for claims runs from July 1 of one year to June 30 of the following year. Eligibility is reviewed annually based on the previous year's income tax return. Visit the official Alberta.ca website for full details and to apply.
