Did you know that each year in July, thousands of low-income seniors have their Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) benefits suspended because of delays in filing their tax returns?
GIS is essential for many seniors. By encouraging them to file their tax returns by April 30, you ensure they receive this financial support in July.
