In April 2025, the Singapore government is going to relieve different kinds of financial benefits for citizens at a time when they are pressurized in their livelihood cost and the effect on their retirement and healthcare savings. These financial benefits, which formed part of the enhancements to the Assurance Package and the Majulah Package, are allocated for a wider range of targeted demographic support.

Cash payouts, MediSave top-ups and Retirement Savings Bonuses are the components of the features which will cut across the age and income divides.
AP Assurance Package Cash Payouts
In April 2025, around 2.9 million Singapore nationals who will be aged at least 21 years old will receive cash payouts in the amounts of between $200 and $600.
