As of May 2025, Canadian seniors are gearing up for the upcoming OAS and GIS payment July 2025. These monthly payments form the backbone of retirement income for many, helping cover essential living expenses. The Old Age Security (OAS) and Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) programs are federal initiatives that support pensioners who have limited or no income apart from the OAS.
The July 2025 combo payment includes both OAS and GIS amounts, provided you meet eligibility criteria. These benefits are automatically deposited into recipients’ bank accounts according to a fixed pensioners payment schedule, with slight variations in processing times by province.

- Be 65 years of age or older
- Be a legal resident or citizen of Canada
- Have lived in Canada for at least 10 years since age 18

GIS eligibility depends heavily on income. For July 2025, any updates to income thresholds will be published by Service Canada in late June. Most recipients are automatically reassessed annually using their previous year’s tax return.

GIS Deposit Update: What to Expect in July 2025
A GIS deposit update for July 2025 includes the continuation of inflation-adjusted payments, announced earlier this year. While no mid-year increase is planned, Service Canada is monitoring inflation trends. If you received GIS last year and your 2024 income still qualifies, your July deposit should be uninterrupted.
In some provinces, processing delays might stretch deposits into early August. If your payment doesn’t arrive by August 5, Service Canada recommends contacting their support line or checking your My Service Canada Account (MSCA).
