The Singapore Government has rolled out new financial support measures in 2025 under the Assurance Package and the Majulah Package. These initiatives aim to ease the pressure of rising living costs, while also helping citizens manage healthcare and prepare for retirement. Starting from September 2025, eligible Singaporeans will receive automatic payouts and top-ups, with no application required.
What’s Included in the 2025 Payouts?
The support package comes with a mix of cash payments, MediSave top-ups, and CPF Retirement Savings Bonuses. Depending on your age, income, and CPF balance, the total benefits could range from $400 to $950 in cash and even more in CPF contributions.
Here’s a quick breakdown:
- Cash Payouts: Between $200 and $600 for citizens aged 21 and above
- MediSave Top-ups:
- $300–$500 for younger adults (born 1974–2003)
- $1,250–$2,000 for seniors (born 1973 or earlier)
- Retirement Savings Bonus: One-time CPF top-up of $1,000–$5,100 for seniors with lower CPF balances
Who Is Eligible?
Eligibility depends on several key factors:
- You must be a Singapore Citizen aged 21 and above (for cash payouts)
- MediSave bonuses are given to citizens born between 1974 and 2003, with higher top-ups for older citizens born in 1973 or earlier
- Retirement Savings Bonuses are reserved for seniors with lower CPF balances
- All recipients must meet income and CPF requirements set by the government
This ensures that assistance is fairly distributed, reaching working adults, families, and retirees who need it most.
Assurance Package 2025
The Assurance Package, first introduced to cushion the GST hike, has been enhanced this year with an extra $1.9 billion. Key highlights include:
- One-time cash payout of $200–$600
- MediSave top-ups for children, adults, and seniors
- U-Save rebates for HDB households
- CDC vouchers and support for vulnerable groups
These benefits work hand in hand to help households manage day-to-day expenses and healthcare costs.
Majulah Package – Supporting Retirement Needs
The Majulah Package focuses on long-term retirement security. It includes:
- CPF top-ups of $1,000–$5,100 for seniors with lower savings
- Additional contributions for working seniors to build retirement funds
- Coverage for about 1.6 million Singaporeans
This package strengthens retirement readiness, particularly for lower-income seniors.
How to Receive the Benefits
The good news is: no applications are needed. Payments and top-ups will be credited automatically to your bank or CPF accounts. You will only receive notifications through:
- Official gov.sg SMS
- Letters from the government
Beware of scams – no WhatsApp, emails, or third-party platforms will be used to contact you. For verification, check govbenefits.gov.sg or call the official hotline 1800-2222-888.
Why These Packages Matter
The combined Assurance and Majulah Packages serve three main purposes:
- Immediate relief through direct cash support
- Healthcare support with MediSave bonuses
- Retirement security via CPF top-ups
By covering both short-term and long-term needs, the government is strengthening Singapore’s social safety net and ensuring citizens are better prepared for the future.
Bottom Line: From September 2025, Singaporeans can look forward to meaningful financial support. Whether it’s help with daily expenses, healthcare, or retirement savings, the Assurance and Majulah Packages are designed to benefit citizens across different stages of life.
