Turning 65: Easing financial transitions for older tenants

Older adults living on very low incomes may be unclear on how and when to transition to old age pensions, according to some advocates, such as policy critic John Stapleton. People who receive Ontario Works (OW) or the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) will transition to Old Age Security benefits on their 65th birthday, which means the application process starts while tenants are still 64.
