Allowance for the Survivor
The Allowance for the Survivor is a monthly payment you can get if:
- you are age 60 to 64
- you live in Canada
- your spouse or common-law partner has died and since their death you have not remarried or become a common-law partner to another person
- your annual income is less than the maximum annual income threshold for the Allowance for the Survivor.
You will have to apply if your spouse or common-law partner has passed away and you are between the age of 60 and 64. Do not apply earlier than 11 months before you turn 60.
