Key Discussion Points:

  • OAS 101: Residency-based, not work-based. Max 2025 benefit (age 65-74): $727.67/month. Includes a 10% increase at age 75. Deferral options to age 70 for a 36% boost.
  • The OAS Clawback: How high income in retirement (threshold of $93,454 for 2025 income year) can reduce or eliminate OAS benefits, and the importance of planning.
  • Timing is Everything: Real-life scenario impacts of taking benefits at 60, 65, or 70. The “bigger slice of pie later” analogy for deferral.
