Singapore's Finance Ministry: About Three Million Citizens to Receive Final Assurance Package Cash of S$100 to S$250 in December
Singapore's Ministry of Finance announced on November 10 that about three million Singaporeans will receive S$100 to S$250 in December 2026 in the final cash payment under the enhanced Assurance Package. The December payment is called the 2027 AP Cash because 2027 is the reference year used to assess age eligibility, and no application is required.
According to the ministry, recipients must be Singapore citizens residing in Singapore and meet the age requirement for the reference year, with eligibility assessed on assessable income for the Year of Assessment 2025, covering income earned in 2024. The earliest payment date is December 8 for eligible recipients with their NRIC linked to PayNow.
The Assurance Package was expanded by S$3 billion in Budget 2023, bringing the planned total to S$9.6 billion. The Ministry of Finance said the package is intended to defray living expenses for Singaporean households and provide more support for lower- to middle-income families.
