About 3 million S'poreans to receive up to S$250 from Assurance Package in Dec. 2026, here's who's eligible

About three million adult Singaporeans will receive between S$100 and S$250 in Assurance Package (AP) cash payments from Dec. 8, 2026.

The Ministry of Finance (MOF) said on Nov. 10 that this will be the final cash disbursement under the enhanced Assurance Package, which was announced at Budget 2023.

By the end of 2026, eligible Singaporeans will have received up to S$2,250 in AP cash payments over five years.

Who is eligible?

Singaporeans aged 21 and above in 2027 will be eligible for the cash payouts.

The amount they receive will depend on their assessable annual income and the number of properties they own.

Those who own no more than one property will receive the following amounts:

• S$250: Assessable income of S$39,000 or below.
• S$150: Assessable income above S$39,000 and up to S$100,000.
• S$100: Assessable income above S$100,000.

Singaporeans who own more than one property will receive S$100, regardless of their assessable income.

Citizens can check their eligibility through the govbenefits website by logging in with Singpass.

How to receive the cash payouts

Eligible Singaporeans who link their NRIC to PayNow by Nov. 24 will receive their payments by Dec. 8.

Those without PayNow-NRIC can submit their DBS/POSB, OCBC or UOB bank account details through the govbenefits website by Nov. 30 to receive their payments via GIRO by Dec. 17.

Those who have not linked their NRIC to PayNow or provided valid bank account details will receive their payouts through GovCash by Dec. 24.

GovCash recipients can withdraw their payouts at OCBC ATMs without an OCBC bank account, using their payment reference number, NRIC number and facial verification.

Recipients to be notified via SMS

Eligible recipients will be notified through the gov.sg SMS Sender ID before and after their payments are credited.

Those without a Singpass-registered mobile number will receive a letter at the address stated on their NRIC.

MOF reminded the public that government officials will never ask for money transfers or bank login details over the phone.
