Assurance Package (AP) Cash
Assurance Package (AP) Cash
If you are eligible for the AP Cash, you will receive the benefits in December each year, from 2022 to 2026. To help Singaporeans better cope with higher inflation and cost-of-living concerns, the Government has announced a one-off AP Cash Special Payment in September 2023. If you are eligible for the one-off AP Cash Special Payment, it will be paid together with the 2024 AP Cash.Starting from 2022, we will no longer be issuing cheques. You are encouraged to link your NRIC to PayNow to receive your benefits earlier.
If you do not have a PayNow-NRIC-linked bank account but have provided your bank account number to the Government previously, you will receive your benefits via bank transfer. If you do not have a bank account, the benefits will be credited to you via GovCash.
