Seniors Benefits
The Seniors Benefit Program provides Extended Health Benefits to Métis and Non-Native residents who are 60 years of age and older. The coverage ensures that seniors will have access to a range of benefits not covered by hospital and medical insurance.
You are eligible for seniors benefits if you are registered with the NWT Health Care Plan, a permanent resident in the NWT and Non-Native or Métis.
You must apply to be considered for benefits. To apply, you need to complete an Extended Health Benefits application form (PDF - 82.40 KB) from the Department of Health and Social Services.
