💰 Free Money Alert: Gov't Giving Out Extra Cheddar This Month! 🤑

The Deets

Okay, so here's the tea: Starting May 1st, if you're gettin' income assistance in Saskatchewan, you're gonna see a lil' somethin' extra in your bank account. The gov't is investing, like, a whole lotta money – $11 million to be exact – to help peeps out.

If you're on SIS (Saskatchewan Income Support), you're lookin' at a 2% increase in your monthly benefits. That's an extra $40 for the Adult Basic Benefit and Shelter Benefit combined. And for the SAID (Saskatchewan Assured Income for Disability) crew, you're gettin' an extra $40 a month too. No cap!

But wait, there's more! They're also boostin' the amount you can earn before it affects your benefits. You can now make an extra $1,000 a year without gettin' your income assistance messed with. That's a major W for hustlers tryna level up!

And for all you seniors out there, listen up! If you're 75 or older, get ready for a major payday in May 2025. You could be gettin' a one-time payment of $2,250 from the Old Age Security (OAS) program. That's enough to, like, finally get that drip you've been eyeing!

Just a heads up, though – you gotta be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, lived in Canada for at least 10 years after you turned 18, and already be gettin' OAS to qualify for that sweet, sweet cash. And remember, it's taxable, so don't forget to include it on your 2025 tax return.

The gov't says they're doin' this 'cause everything's getting so expensive, from groceries to rent. So, they're tryna help seniors keep up with the times.
