Old Age Security Payment Dates

The Government of Canada issues Old Age Security payments monthly, usually within the last three business days of each month. However, the exact payment date can vary slightly from one month to the next, depending on weekends and holidays. It’s important to know these OAS payment dates well in advance to help manage your monthly retirement budget effectively.

Payment Dates for 2024

If you are eligible for Old Age Security, you can choose to receive OAS payments through direct deposit or by cheque. Direct deposit is the most convenient and secure option, as the payments are directly deposited into your bank account on the scheduled payment dates. To set up direct deposit, you will need to provide your banking information to Service Canada.

Old Age Security payments can be sent to some foreign bank accounts in certain countries, such as the United States. A complete list of countries eligible for direct deposit can be found on the Government of Canada’s website.

If you prefer to receive a cheque, it will be mailed to your home address on file with Service Canada. However, this method may take longer and leaves room for potential delays or lost cheques.

Budgeting your monthly expenses around your OAS payments can help you maintain a comfortable lifestyle. To streamline your financial management, consider setting up automatic payments for regular expenses, such as utilities, close to your OAS payment date.

Additionally, keep track of any unexpected expenses or changes in your income to ensure you stay within your budget.

To avoid delays in receiving your OAS payments, ensure that your bank information is up to date. Direct deposit is not only quicker than receiving Old Age Security payments by mail but also more secure.
