The Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) is a monthly payment you can get if:
you are 65 or older
you live in Canada
you get the Old Age Security (OAS) pension
your income is below $18,600 if you are single, widowed, or divorced
如果你单身，丧偶或者离婚，你的年收入低于18600
your income plus the income of your spouse/common-law partner is below:
$24,576 if your spouse/common-law partner receives the full OAS pension
你和你的伴侣（含同居）都在领老人金的，家庭收入低于24576
$44,592 if your spouse/common-law partner does not receive an OAS pension
你的伴侣(含同居)还没领老人金的家庭收入不超过44592
$44,592 if your spouse/common-law partner receives the Allowance
如果你的伴侣（含同居）在领Allowance，家庭收入不超过44592
The Supplement is based on income and is available to low-income Old Age Security pensioners. It is not taxable.
这个补充是基于收入，适用于低收入的退休老人保障，不用交税。
看来自由党大幅降低了有家庭配偶没有领取老人金的老人低收入保障门槛，也就是说提高了这部分老年人的基本收入保障，我之前看的家庭收入要求要比这个低，印象中是家庭收入30000.现在是44592。
