Old Age Security Payments June 2025- Canadian Seniors Could Receive Up To $800 – Find Out If You Qualify
For Canadian seniors, Old Age Security (OAS) is a vital income support program. With the June 2025 payments just around the corner, Canadian seniors who are 65 years and older could receive up to $800 depending on their age.
This article provides the latest details on the upcoming June Old Age Security payment, eligibility criteria, and how to apply for this important benefit.
How Much Can You Get in June 2025?
The amount you will receive from Old Age Security depends on your age and annual income. For the second quarter of 2025 (April to June), the maximum monthly amounts are as follows:
| Age Group | Maximum Monthly OAS Amount (June 2025) |
|---|---|
| 65 to 74 years | $727.67 |
| 75 years and over | $800.44 |
These payments are adjusted every three months to account for inflation. This means that if the cost of living rises, your OAS amount will increase, though it will never decrease, even if inflation drops.

To qualify for Old Age Security, you must meet the following criteria:

- Be a Canadian citizen or legal resident
- Have lived in Canada for at least 10 years after turning 18

How to Apply for Old Age Security
Many Canadians are automatically enrolled in OAS when they turn 65. However, not everyone is automatically signed up.
If you are turning 65 soon, you should receive a letter from Service Canada explaining your options and allowing you to choose your start date. The start date can be anytime between ages 65 and 70.
If you do not receive a letter by the time you turn 64 and a month has passed, you should contact Service Canada to check your enrollment status.
You can apply for OAS in the following ways:
- Online: Through your My Service Canada Account.
- By mail or in person: Using a completed application form and the necessary documents.
Is Old Age Security Taxable?
Yes, Old Age Security is considered taxable income in Canada.
The government does not automatically deduct taxes from your Old Age Security payments unless you request it. To avoid a larger tax bill at the end of the year, you can ask for voluntary tax deductions.
This can be done through your online account or by submitting the Request for Voluntary Federal Income Tax Deductions (CPP/OAS) form.
