This year Singapore will allocate a total of S$270 million to MediSave top-ups for senior citizens.
In July, Singaporeans born in 1959 and earlier or aged 63 and over will receive MediSave top-ups between S$200 and S$900. In addition, those born in 1939 and earlier with serious existing medical conditions will receive additional S$50 to S$200.
The top-ups can be used to pay for MediShield Life and CareShield Life premiums, other MediSave-approved insurance plans, and health services.
