Question on Pension Acts... - Page 3 Empty Back on track please.

Post by Guest Wed 11 Sep 2013, 22:11

The actual original question on this thread is : I was just wondering what act actually states that the old monthly Veteran's Pension is NOT to be accounted for in any government instances? ie: Not having to declare it as an actual income towards, income taxes, the "SISIP Clawback".

Thank you.

(not holding my breath on that one), or having to report it as income in some provincial services ie.: ODSP (Ontario Disability Supports Program.

I just need a reference link to that act.

Thanks in advance!

For tax purposes the VIP money is considered a grant and therefore not taxable. Check out your my vac account and it's a new section that displays your annual and semi annual VIP payments , it says grant!

Rex that very question was asked at the last VAC Stakeholder meeting in December and the answer is it will NOT be taxed.

What I have been trying to ge tan answer on, is under the old VIP, I could get all services plus any taxes I paid for those services reimbursed 100%, up to my $1400 for lawn care. But under the new plan, when they deposit the money twice a year, is it taxed? If it is, in the end every Veteran on VIP is actually losing hundred of dollars from their benefit. They say it is to cut red tape, but I suspect the only thing getting reduced is their financial obligation, once again.

ODSP checks CRA files and an alert gets sent to them if you have any income recorded, ie cpp premiums, EI , income tax deductions

If you are wondering if you claim ODSP as an income on income tax......yes you do but it's a different T-4.
If ODSP was under your wife's name, SHE has to claim it on her own income tax.

They told me that I had not reported it which I did and they kept paying so they hit me hard at that time. I've had to return 3 months of it.
Example: Lets say, you have been on ODSP for 3 years and you receive money next month from this class action and you receive 5 years. They will ask for the three years back because you will receive money that would cover the years you were on ODSP.
I hope this helps

My other half's file with them is closed now, but it got me thinking... If this is what happened with the SISIP Clawback, then all govt. depts. SHOULD fall in line... not saying that they will. So, now I am trying to get what they took with regards to my old (monthly) pension.

I believe they will stop payment. If they find out that this was retro active. They will probably ask to be reimburse as far as they can go.
Don't advise them until you get your cheque. You will have to report it. They may also ask for proof of this money that you are about to get and then they have the dates......that's the bad part.

I wish you the best
