Bill C-12 amends the Old Age Security Act to exclude federal pandemic benefits from the calculation of the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) and allowance benefits, starting in July 2022. This change aims to prevent low-income seniors from experiencing a reduction in their GIS or allowance benefits due to having received pandemic relief. The bill also addresses previous GIS reductions related to pandemic benefits received in 2020 and 2021, with plans for one-time payments to compensate affected seniors.
