Does anyone know if the $500 OAS covid amount was given to both spouses older than 75? I’m seeing the T4A only for one spouse. Thank You.

Definitely both.  Just did one this morning where both received it.

Yesterday I did a CRA auto-fill for a couple, both spouses born before June 30, 1947 and receiving OAS. Indeed, only one spouse got a T4A slip showing $500 in box 205. According to the CRA info-and the reply here-both should received the payment.
