Why the Government Is Giving This Cash Boost
Inflation hasn’t gone away.
Everyday costs are still rising, even if salaries haven’t caught up yet.
This cash boost helps:
- Protect purchasing power
- Support lower-income households
- Give middle-income families breathing room
It also keeps spending stable across the economy.
Good for households, good for Singapore.
How to Prepare So You Don’t Miss Out
Do these simple checks:
- Log in to Singpass and confirm your PayNow or GIRO details
- Ensure your 2024 income records are updated
- Watch for official SMS or letters only — scammers are active
- Plan ahead: use payouts for bills, essentials, or savings
No need to overthink. Just stay alert.
