💰 Could you be missing out on government benefits that put more money back in your pocket?
With the cost of groceries, utilities and everyday essentials still putting pressure on household budgets, every dollar counts.
This summer, there are three important government changes Canadians should know about:
✅ Old Age Security (OAS) continues to adjust with inflation.
✅ The new Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit has replaced the GST/HST Credit, with increased payments for eligible Canadians.
✅ The Canadian Dental Care Plan continues to expand, helping more people access affordable dental care.
While these benefits can certainly help, they're not always enough if debt has become overwhelming. If you're relying on credit cards to cover everyday expenses or struggling with CRA debt, collection calls or wage garnishments, it may be time to explore your options.
Our latest blog explains these changes, who may qualify, and why understanding all of your debt relief options can be just as important as claiming the benefits available to you.
