Low Income Seniors’ Benefit

“The seniors benefit is one important way that we are helping to improve financial security for seniors in Newfoundland and Labrador,” said the Honourable Paul Oram, Minister of Health and Community Services and Minister Responsible for Aging and Seniors. “This is one of the key priority directions of our Provincial Healthy Aging Policy Framework and an important factor in helping seniors to live independently and experience good health and well-being.”

The Seniors’ Benefit is administered by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) on behalf of the province. For further information, or to determine eligibility for the Seniors’ Benefit, please contact the CRA at 1-800-959-1953.
