A recently retired Ontario man was shocked to receive a letter from the federal government stating he would get more than $60,000 a month in old age security payments instead of the $600 a month he anticipated.
In February, John Easton opened up a letter from Employment and Social Development Canada that stated he was to receive $60,145 every month as per the government’s Old Age Security program.
The Scarborough, Ont. resident said he couldn’t help but imagine how that amount of money would change his retirement plans. However, Easton pushed those thoughts from his mind and contacted Employment and Social Development Canada to report the letter, which he assumed was a mistake.
