In 2025, the Singapore Government announced new cash payouts and retirement support packages to help citizens manage the rising cost of living, healthcare expenses, and retirement needs.
Through the Assurance Package and the Majulah Package, millions of Singaporeans will automatically receive payouts ranging from $400 to $950, along with extra CPF top-ups. These benefits start from September 2025, and the best part is—no applications are required.
What Is Included In The 2025 Payouts?
The financial support in 2025 is divided into three main parts: cash payouts, MediSave top-ups, and Retirement Savings Bonuses.
Breakdown of Support
| Type of Benefit | Amount/Range | Who Gets It? |
|---|---|---|
| Cash Payouts | $200 – $600 | Singapore Citizens aged 21+ |
| MediSave Top-ups | $300 – $500 | Citizens born 1974–2003 |
| $1,250 – $2,000 | Seniors born 1973 or earlier | |
| Retirement Savings Bonus | $1,000 – $5,100 (one-time CPF top-up) | Seniors with lower CPF balances |
These payments will help both working adults and retirees, ensuring that support is given fairly based on age and CPF balances.
