Who among the following is eligible to receive the Allowance?

The correct answer is that John, age 63, whose spouse is eligible to receive Old Age Security (OAS) and Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS), qualifies to receive the Allowance. This is based on the eligibility criteria for the Allowance, which is designed to support individuals aged 60 to 64 who have a spouse or common-law partner receiving OAS or GIS, thus ensuring that they can receive financial support while their spouse is eligible for these benefits.

In Canada, the Allowance is available specifically to those within this age range and who have a low to moderate income. The fact that John has a spouse receiving OAS and GIS meets the foundational requirement for eligibility because the Allowance is intended to provide additional income support to those whose partners are benefiting from these government programs.

The other scenarios do not meet the eligibility criteria for receiving the Allowance. For instance, John, age 60, living alone does not have a spouse receiving OAS or GIS, which is necessary for eligibility. John, age 70, does not qualify because he is beyond the age limit for receiving the Allowance, which only covers individuals aged 60 to 64. Similarly, John, age 65, with a taxable income of $30,000
