Administered by Service Canada, OAS is a key component of Canada’s senior benefits program. For many retirees, the timing of these payments is crucial for budgeting and planning, making it essential to stay informed about the payment schedule.

Who is Eligible for the July 2025 Senior Pension Credit?
To qualify for the senior pension credit in July 2025, applicants must meet the following OAS eligibility requirements:
- Be 65 years of age or older
- Be a Canadian citizen or legal resident
- Have lived in Canada for at least 10 years after turning 18
For those who don’t have a full retirement pension, OAS credits can provide an essential income supplement. Since OAS payments are taxable, recipients should anticipate potential impacts on their tax filings.
Additionally, if your annual income exceeds a certain threshold, your OAS payment may be subject to the Old Age Security Recovery Tax (also known as the clawback).
Checking CRA Payment Status for July 2025
If you haven’t received your OAS payment on the scheduled date, verifying your CRA payment status is a good first step. The CRA offers multiple tools for this purpose:
- My Account portal: Log in to check if your payment has been processed.
- CRA mobile app: Offers updates on the payment status.
- Automated phone services: Provide account inquiries for quick assistance.
Delays may occur if there are issues with your banking information or if you’ve moved and haven’t updated your mailing address. Ensure that your details are updated with both Service Canada and the CRA to avoid any delays.
