SINGAPORE: Around 3 million eligible Singaporeans aged 21 and above in 2027 will receive cash payments of between S$100 (US$78) and S$250 from Dec 8, 2026, the Ministry of Finance (MOF) said on Tuesday (Nov 10).

This is the final disbursement under the enhanced Assurance Package, which was announced in Budget 2023 to help Singaporean households defray living expenses, as well as provide more support to lower- and middle-income households.

Eligible adult Singaporeans receive the cash payments each December from 2022 to 2026.

Last year, cash payments of between S$100 and S$600 were given to eligible Singaporeans.

The enhanced Assurance Package also includes rebates, Community Development Council Vouchers, and MediSave top-ups.

Singaporeans can check their eligibility for the cash payments by logging in to the govbenefits website by logging in with their Singpass. 

Those eligible will be notified via the gov.sg SMS sender ID before and after the payment has been credited. Recipients without a Singpass-registered mobile number will be informed through a letter sent to the address on their identity card.
