The Government of Canada has certified a 1. 4% raise in Guaranteed Income Supplement payments for the October to December 2026 quarter, marking the highest quarterly adjustment of the entire calendar year.
The maximum monthly GIS payments are being raised for all recipient groups, and the income limits for eligibility have been increased as well.
On October 28, 2026, the first deposit will show the updated rates and arrive with the month’s regular OAS and CPP payments.
This guide addresses the revised income thresholds, the updated GIS payment amounts, who is eligible for the maximum benefit, how actual payments differ across families, and what the quarterly recalculation means for beneficiaries as they enter the last months of 2026.
