The government of Singapore has announced the last of the cash support under the Assurance Package, where the adult citizens who meet the required conditions will get the amount of $200 to $600 in December 2026.
The cash support comes to an end with the five-year package which started in the year 2022. As we step into the year 2026, it gives us the much-needed support during the period when the prices of necessities such as food, utilities, and transportation are still the same.
What the Cash Support Covers
This is the last direct support from the enhanced Assurance Package focusing on the lower-middle income adults.
Most of the total beneficiaries (2022–2026) receive approximately $700 to $2,250 based on income and property ownership.
Why This Payout in 2026
The scheme aimed at reducing the impact of GST hikes and increasing costs. The last payment will serve as a lifeline during the transition to the end of the scheme.
Around 3 million adults will be the receivers.
Who Qualifies?
In 2026, if you are a Singapore citizen aged 21 and above you are eligible. The amounts vary depending on your assessable income and property status in the earlier years.
Processing is entirely automated – no action needed on your part.
How Much Will You Receive?
Low income and fewer properties result in more considerable support. People in the middle can expect around $300–$400.
Payout Dates and Methods
For accounts linked with PayNow-NRIC, credits will start being issued in the first week of December 2026.
Others will get their bank transfers or GovCash shortly thereafter.
Expected Typical Amounts for December 2026
The following is a list of anticipated groups:
| Profile | Expected Amount | Key Factors |
|---|---|---|
| Lower income, 0-1 property | $400–$600 | Highest support |
| Middle income, 1 property | $200–$400 | Most common |
| Higher income/multiple properties | $200 or less | Basic tier |
Other Supports in 2026
Next to this money, the families will receive CDC Vouchers ($300 in January) and constant U-Save rebates.
