OAS Payments Are Bigger This July — Here's How Much More You'll Get

  July 21, 2026 If you or someone in your family collects Old Age Security, the deposit landing later this month is larger than the last one. Here's exactly why, and what the new numbers look like. Old Age Security payments went up 1.2% for the July-to-September 2026 quarter — the largest of the four scheduled increases so far this year. Combined with earlier adjustments, that puts OAS 2.3% higher than it was in July 2025. OAS amounts are reviewed every January, April, July, and October to track the Consumer Price Index. When the cost of living rises, the payment rises with it. When it falls, the payment simply holds steady — OAS is protected from ever decreasing. The new maximum monthly amounts Age Group April–June 2026 July–September 2026 Monthly Increase 65 to 74 $743.05 $751.97 +$8.92 75 and older $817.36 $827.17 +$9.81 Seniors 75 and up sit higher because of the permanent 10% top-up the federal government added to that age group's OAS back in July 2022.

Israel Strikes Iran with Supersonic ‘Rampage’ Missile

 

In a recent military operation, Israel reportedly used a powerful supersonic missile called “The Rampage” to strike Iran. The attack targeted a military base near the Iranian city of Isfahan. Here are the key details:

  1. The Rampage Missile:

    • The missile used in the alleged Israeli attack is a locally-developed air-to-surface weapon known as “The Rampage.”
    • Manufactured by Israeli Military Industries Systems and Israel Aerospace Industries, this 4.7-meter (15-foot) rocket weighs over half a ton.
    • Designed to penetrate and destroy protected areas, such as bunkers, The Rampage poses a significant threat to ground targets.
  2. Supersonic Speed:

    • The Rampage missile can travel at supersonic speed, making it difficult to detect and intercept using air defense systems like the Iron Dome.
    • Its high velocity enhances its effectiveness in striking military bases and other strategic locations.
  3. Escaping Radar Detection:

    • The missile’s advanced technology allows it to evade Iran’s radar systems, as demonstrated in the recent attack near the Natanz nuclear site.
    • Israeli officials have suggested that this move was “calibrated to make Iran think twice” before launching another direct attack on Israel.

While Israel has not officially commented on the strike, the use of The Rampage missile underscores the escalating tensions between Israel and Iran. As the situation continues to evolve, the international community closely monitors developments in the region.
