Seniors Co-Payment Program income thresholds rise for 2026/27 (effective Aug 1, 2026)

Effective Aug 1, 2026, Ontario raised the income cutoffs for the Seniors Co-Payment Program (waives the $100 ODB deductible, caps copay at $2/Rx vs. up to $6.11). The individual net income threshold rises from $25,000 to $25,480 and the couple threshold from $41,500 to $42,290, so more seniors may qualify; thresholds will now track the Ontario CPI annually. Already-enrolled seniors confirmed by CRA need do nothing; others can apply at forms.ontariodrugbenefit.ca.
