Health coverage for Status Indian (as defined by the Indian Act) SIP clients is provided by Health Canada. For more information, please call 1-866-885-3933.
No application is required for this program. Eligibility and benefit amounts are automatically determined by completing your income tax return and completing an application for OAS/GIS through Service Canada. The Old Age Security application webpage will take you to the federal application and contact information.
You will automatically receive SIP benefits if you qualify and meet the following conditions:
If you are eligible for the maximum GIS amount, you are also entitled to the maximum SIP benefit. An increase in your income will lower the GIS amount and your SIP benefit.
Each year, the income reported on your income tax return determines your eligibility and the amount of the monthly federal and provincial benefits to be paid to you.
Eligibility is reassessed each year in July.
