Seniors in the province can now apply for a benefit if they’re low income.
The Government of New Brunswick says in order to be eligible for the $400 benefit, the person applying must have been a resident of New Brunswick on December 31, 2020.
The person applying must also have received one of the federal benefits under the Old Age Security Act.
The federal benefits include a guaranteed income supplement, allowance for survivor program, or allowance program.
If eligible, you’re asked to apply online or print the application and mail it in to support physical distancing measures.
Applications for the one-time $400 benefit for low-income seniors are now available. https://t.co/ytSFDHssS3 pic.twitter.com/ZosX29dKVm
