If you are a senior in Alberta (or helping a parent), the Alberta Seniors Benefit (ASB) is one of the most important monthly supports to understand. It is designed to help low-income seniors with monthly living expenses—and for many families, it can make budgeting for essentials (utilities, groceries, transportation, and even support at home) more manageable.

(https://www.alberta.ca/alberta-seniors-benefit)

To be eligible for the Alberta Seniors Benefit, Alberta states you must:

- Be 65 years of age or older (benefits may start the month of your 65th birthday)

- Have lived in Alberta for at least 3 months immediately before applying

- Be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident

- Receive Old Age Security (OAS) from the Government of Canada
Meet the program’s financial eligibility criteria

Seniors with low-income can get financial assistance to help with monthly living expenses.

Did you know you can continue to increase your retirement income even after you start collecting your Canada Pension Plan (CPP) retirement pension?

To do so, you need to be:
• between 60 and 70 years of age
• working and contributing to the CPP

Like the CPP retirement pension, post-retirement benefits are a lifetime benefit and increase annually with the cost-of-living.
