Old Age Security

If you do not qualify for the federal Old Age Security pension, you are eligible for a reduced cash benefit if you are a:

  • renter (includes renting from family)
  • homeowner
  • resident of a lodge
  • resident of a long-term care centre

If you do not qualify for Old Age Security, your sources of income and the calculation of your non-deductible income is different from a senior who receives Old Age Security. To calculate your cash benefit if you do not qualify for Old Age Security, call the Alberta Seniors Information Line at 1-800-642-3853.
