CPP And GIS Double Payments Of $2,600 And $1,800 Arriving For Retirees This Month In 2025 – Check Deposit Date

There is no official “double payment” of fixed $2,600 (CPP) or $1,800 (GIS) scheduled by the government.

What retirees will see this month is the regular CPP and OAS/GIS deposits that can land on the same day, which sometimes looks like a “double.”

The deposit date for September 2025 is Thursday, September 25, 2025 (direct deposit typically appears by end of day; cheques take longer).

What’s Actually Being Paid

Canada Pension Plan (CPP): Your CPP amount depends on lifetime contributions and the age you started benefits.

In 2025, the maximum retirement pension at 65 is around $1,433.00/month, while the average new beneficiary receives about $845/month.

If you deferred CPP past 65, your amount may be higher due to delay increases.

Old Age Security (OAS) & Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS):
OAS is indexed quarterly.

For the July–September 2025 quarter, typical OAS maximums are roughly $734.95 (age 65–74) and $808.45 (age 75+ with the 10% uplift).

GIS is an income-tested top-up for low-income seniors who receive OAS. For a single senior, the maximum GIS this quarter is about $1,097.75/month.

Couples have different thresholds and combined income tests, so amounts vary.

Why the rumor numbers? Viral posts often quote $2,600 or $1,800 as if they were guaranteed bonuses.

In reality, people sometimes add together their regular CPP + OAS + GIS that arrive on the same date and call it a “double payment.”

There is no extra one-time windfall officially announced for this month.

Deposit Date And How To Check

• Deposit date: September 25, 2025 for CPP, OAS, and GIS.

2025 Payment Snapshot (September Cycle)

Program	Typical 2025 Maximum (Monthly)	Who Qualifies	Deposit Date (This Month)	Notes
CPP (retirement at 65)	$1,433.00	Workers who contributed; amount varies by contributions & start age	Sept 25, 2025	Average new benefit ≈ $845/mo; deferring raises amount
OAS (65–74)	$734.95	Age 65+ meeting residency & income rules	Sept 25, 2025	Indexed quarterly to inflation
OAS (75+)	$808.45	Same as above; includes 10% uplift at 75+	Sept 25, 2025	Indexed quarterly to inflation
GIS (single)	Up to $1,097.75	Low-income OAS recipients	Sept 25, 2025	Amount depends on income and marital status

Important: GIS is not a flat payment. Your income from last tax year (and your spouse/common-law partner’s income, if applicable) determines how much you receive.

Who Might See Two Deposits The Same Day?

If you’re eligible for CPP and also receive OAS/GIS, you can see two (or more) deposits on September 25.

That may look like a “double payment,” but it’s simply your regular monthly benefits arriving together through direct deposit.

How To Maximize Or Correct Your Benefits

• Verify your income: Lower net income can increase GIS (within rules).
• Update life changes: Report marital-status or income changes promptly so GIS is calculated correctly.
• Consider CPP timing: If you haven’t started yet, delaying CPP can increase your monthly amount (up to the program’s limits).

Rumors of “CPP and GIS double payments” worth $2,600 and $1,800 are misleading.

In September 2025, retirees will receive their regular CPP and OAS/GIS payments, with deposits scheduled for September 25, 2025.

Your actual amounts depend on CPP contributions, age, and income (for GIS).

Keep your MSCA and direct deposit information up to date so your benefits arrive smoothly and accurately each month.
