You should apply for the Allowance 6 to 11 months before you turn 60.

The Allowance payments will begin during one of the following months, whichever is latest:

  • the month after you meet the eligibility requirements
  • the month after you turn 60
  • the month your spouse or common-law partner becomes entitled to the GIS, or
