The Big One: GST Voucher – Cash (August 2025)
This is the payout everyone waits for. If you’re a Singaporean aged 21 or above with an Assessable Income of $34,000 or less, you’re in.
PayNow-NRIC users get the fastest credit. The money is expected to drop from 6 August 2025. If you’re still on GIRO, expect it slightly later—around 15 August. Best tip? Just link your NRIC to PayNow. It’s faster, and no need to wait in suspense.
Payout amounts:
- $850 if your home Annual Value (AV) is $21,000 or below
- $450 if your AV is between $21,001 and $31,000
GST Voucher – U-Save (Utilities Rebates)
This one doesn’t show up as cash, but you’ll feel the difference when your SP bill doesn’t shock you.
Households living in HDB flats will receive rebates in January, April, July, and October 2025. The year’s total comes up to about $760 to $950, depending on your flat type.
The best part? No application needed. It goes straight into your utilities account.
MediSave Top-Ups for Seniors (August 2025)
If you’re part of the Pioneer or Merdeka Generation, there’s an extra boost coming to your CPF MediSave.
Starting 11 August 2025, seniors can receive up to $450, credited directly into their MediSave. This helps cover outpatient visits and insurance premiums, which many older folks worry about.
Year-End Assurance Package (December 2025)
Just before Christmas and year-end gatherings, the government rolls out the final support of the year.
In December 2025, eligible citizens can receive between $200 to $600 in cash. Think of it as a small “ang bao” to soften holiday spending, especially when groceries, transport, and makan sessions tend to cost more.
How to Check Your Exact Payout (Safely)
Here’s the thing: scams are everywhere. If you get a random SMS telling you to click a link, just ignore it.
To safely check your payout:
1. Use the official govbenefits website
Log in using your Singpass. This is the most accurate place to see what you qualify for.
2. Check if your NRIC is linked to PayNow
This is the fastest way to receive government payouts—no delays, no confusion.
3. Remember: Official SMS notifications come only from “gov.sg”
If the sender looks suspicious, it probably is.

And as we always say in Singapore: support coming steady pom pi pi.
