I'd suggest that if you're reading this and you know a senior who doesn't have the means to download the form at home, you might do that for them. :-)

International travel: hindsight is a great telling view but it's next to useless. However, I wish people took this threat more seriously 6 weeks ago and I wish the Federal Government had come down hard on international travel earlier.

New Brunswick sees the largest increase to date in COVID-19 cases Sunday.
The province announced 15 new cases of COVID-19, bringing the total to 66.
In a news release Sunday, the province said two people have recovered from the illness, and they are conducting "further analysis" to find more details about the new cases, "including whether community transmission has occurred."
In a statement, Chief Medical Officer Dr. Jennifer Russell said her recommendations haven't changed: people should keep frequently washing their hands and staying at home.
"Only go out for essential services like buying food, getting prescriptions, or attending medical appointments, and return home immediately after," she said.
"It is important to continue to practise physical distancing. These practices will save lives."
This is the list of cases and where they are located:
New Brunswick's low-income seniors are encouraged to apply for their $400 benefit online or through the mail this year.
In a press release Sunday, the province said applications for the 2020 Low-income Seniors' Benefit will be posted online on April 1.
Because of concerns about the spread of COVID-19, the release says New Brunswickers are "strongly encouraged" to apply online, and applications forms will not be available at Service New Brunswick Centres.
Instead, people can apply online or print the application and mail it to Finance and Treasury Board.
The deadline for the application is Dec. 31, 2020. More information is available from Finance and Treasury Board, Revenue Administration Division, at 1-800-669-7070.

Reply to @SarahRose Werner: Ever since I first knew about it (from browsing that Prime magazine) I've been doing it for my mother in law. It would be useful if the province actively notified people rather relied on the media. It's passported by GIS and OAS (if 60-64) and this is already known by the province from tax returns. Indeed the prescription coverage for seniors is renewed every year based on the same thing. Other provinces issue the payment automatically without the need for an application for something that many don't even know exists.
Joined up thinking is a good thing :)

Reply to @SarahRose Werner: I did it online in in December of 2018 ain't received the $400 benefit yet When I called about the same benefit Christmas and tried to apply online again the form they offered had the wrong dates on it and could not explain why. They also claimed my benefit from year before had been sent but had no proof that the cheque had been cashed. Methinks I should give up on Higgy's minions N'esy Pas?

Yes, the Feds should have. But, you know how Justin hates to offend any of his international elites. How can he rub shoulders with the globalists if he's ticked them off.
So what's a few thousand Canadians thrown under the bus for a good cause.

Reply to @Greg Miller: Now they are telling us that the Federal Government has no testing available for people who are coming home on flights from heavily infected areas. Some of these air travelers are getting on these planes with corona virus symptoms. Totally irresponsible of the Federal Government to allow these "Trojan Horses" land in Canada.
