Updated Checked by the Tax-Services.ca editorial team How we check
Checked 10 November 2026. The next OAS, GIS and CPP payments are on November 26 and December 22, 2026. The next Canada Disability Benefit payments are on November 19 and December 17, 2026. The Government of Canada benefits calendar lists only 2026 and earlier years, so no 2027 dates exist yet.
The dates below come from the Government of Canada benefits calendar. We will add 2027 when it is published.
What are the 2026 payment dates?
The calendar lists one set of dates for OAS, GIS, the Allowance and the Allowance for the Survivor, and the same dates for CPP. The Canada Disability Benefit has its own dates.
| Month | OAS, GIS and CPP | Canada Disability Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| January | January 28 | January 15 |
| February | February 25 | February 19 |
| March | March 27 | March 19 |
| April | April 28 | April 16 |
| May | May 27 | May 21 |
| June | June 26 | June 18 |
| July | July 29 | July 16 |
| August | August 27 | August 20 |
| September | September 25 | September 17 |
| October | October 28 | October 15 |
| November | November 26 | November 19 |
| December | December 22 | December 17 |
How are the dates set?
OAS, GIS and CPP payments land near the end of the month. In 2026 the dates run from the 22nd to the 29th, and December is early because of the holidays. The Canada Disability Benefit dates are all Thursdays in the third week of the month. Service Canada says the first payment is made on the third Thursday of the month after approval.
Do not count on a pattern for 2027. Wait for the published calendar.
Which payment is which?
OAS is the pension paid to most people from age 65. GIS tops it up for low-income pensioners and is paid on the same dates as OAS. CPP is the retirement pension you earn through contributions, and it is paid on the same dates as OAS in the calendar. The Canada Disability Benefit is a separate monthly payment for eligible working-age people with disabilities.
For the rules, see Old Age Security Pension: Amount, Deferral and Eligibility, Guaranteed Income Supplement and CPP Retirement Pension Start Age.
What about 2027?
The benefits calendar showed 2026 and 2025 dates when we checked. The OAS and CPP pages show only the next payment date, which is November 26, 2026. We have not found 2027 dates for any of these benefits, so we show none. When the calendar adds them, this page will be updated with the new table.
The 2027 CPP contribution figures are separate and already published. See CPP in 2027. Tax dates for 2027 are on Canadian tax calendar 2027.
What if a payment is late or missing?
Check your My Service Canada Account or the benefit page for the next payment date first, and confirm your bank details and address are current. Then contact Service Canada. Pension income also matters at tax time: OAS and CPP are taxable, and OAS can be reduced if your income is high, as explained in OAS Clawback and Age Amount.
Where are the dates for other benefits?
The Canada Child Benefit has its own page: Canada Child Benefit payment dates. The quarterly groceries benefit is on Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit payment dates.
How is this page kept current?
We re-read the Government of Canada benefits calendar when we update benefit pages and add dates only when they are published there.
