Seniors' benefits platforms

Here's what the 2025 Newfoundland & Labrador election parties are promising.

Liberal

  • Expand eligibility for the NL Seniors' Benefit by increasing the income thresholds by 10%
  • Set up travelling Seniors Navigator Teams to visit rural and remote communities and provide guidance and assistance for seniors to access provincial services

    "Your Liberal team will also support seniors with access to government services through the creation of travelling Seniors Navigator Teams. These teams will travel around the province on a pre-published schedule to visit rural and remote communities, where they will set up a temporary service access point where seniors can seek guidance and assistance for provincial services in a stress-free, in-person environment without the need for computers or waiting on the phone. These Seniors Navigator Teams will help ensure seniors are receiving the benefits they are entitled to receive." — nlliberals.ca, retrieved 2025-10-02

PC

  • Raise the NL Seniors' Benefit by 20%, and index it to inflation

NDP

  • Increase the Seniors' Benefit by 25% and index it to inflation

    "We’ll immediately increase the Seniors’ Benefit by 25 per cent and match it to inflation every year after that – ensuring those on fixed incomes are able to live a life they can afford and deserve." — A Better Deal for People in Newfoundland and Labrador, retrieved 2025-09-27
