About 3 million Singaporeans will receive between S$100 and S$250 from 8 December 2026 in the final round of Assurance Package cash payments, the Ministry of Finance said on 10 November.
The payout is for Singapore citizens living in Singapore who will be aged 21 or older in 2027. That means you can qualify for this December’s payment even if you turn 21 next year.
How Much You’ll Receive
The amount depends on how many properties you own and your assessable income, the income figure used for tax assessment. For this payout, the Government uses the figure for income earned in 2024.
| Properties owned | Assessable income | Cash payout |
|---|---|---|
| Zero or one | S$39,000 or less | S$250 |
| Zero or one | Above S$39,000 and up to S$100,000 | S$150 |
| Zero or one | Above S$100,000 | S$100 |
| Two or more | Any amount | S$100 |
When the Money Will Arrive
Eligible recipients will get the payout automatically. To get it in the first batch, link your NRIC to PayNow through your bank by 24 November. The payment will be credited by 8 December. If your NRIC is already linked, there’s nothing else to do.
If you don’t have an NRIC-linked PayNow account, you can receive the money by bank transfer. Submit or update your DBS/POSB, OCBC or UOB account details through Govbenefits by 30 November for payment by 17 December.
If you have neither an NRIC-linked PayNow account nor bank details registered with the Government, you’ll be paid through GovCash by 24 December. You can withdraw the money at OCBC ATMs without an OCBC account.
You can check your eligibility by signing in to Govbenefits with Singpass. The Government will send SMS notifications from the gov.sg sender ID before and after the money is credited. If you don’t have a mobile number registered with Singpass, you’ll get a letter at the address on your NRIC.
The Last of Five Annual Cash Payouts
The Assurance Package was designed to help households manage living expenses. Eligible Singaporeans have received cash payments each December since 2022, with up to S$2,250 in total over the five rounds.
