As part of the Singapore government’s ongoing Assurance Package and annual GST Voucher (GSTV) scheme, Singaporeans born before 1970 are set to receive targeted financial support in July 2025.
These payouts help cushion the impact of the Goods & Services Tax (GST) increases and rising living costs—especially for senior citizens.
If you or your family members are born in 1969 or earlier, understanding your eligibility and the payout structure can ensure you receive all entitled benefits.

Why Born-Before-1970 Matters
Citizens born before 1970 (1969 or earlier) benefit from additional Assurance Package Senior Bonuses. This group often faces higher healthcare costs and limited income during retirement, so the government provides extra targeted payouts via this scheme.
When and How You Will Receive the Payout
| Component | Timing | How You Receive It |
|---|---|---|
| GSTV – Cash | July 2025 | PayNow-NRIC or GIRO |
| GSTV – U-Save | Quarterly (April, July, Oct, Jan) | Offset in SP Group utility bill |
| MediSave Top-Up | February 2025 (already paid earlier this year) | Credited to CPF MediSave Account |
Citizens do not need to apply if they’ve received past GSTV payouts and their Singpass MyInfo bank details are up-to-date.
Action Checklist Before July
- Verify Singpass MyInfo: Confirm bank details, AV, AI, and property ownership.
- Apply by 20 June 2025 if you are a first-time beneficiary.
- Check for official notifications from MOF (SMS, mailers) in late June 2025.

Why This Matters
The GST Voucher scheme, combined with the Assurance Package, is designed to mitigate the effects of GST increases and support Singapore’s seniors with real, tangible benefits.

For Singaporeans born before 1970, the July 2025 GST Voucher payout is an essential financial boost.
With up to S$850 cash, S$760 U-Save rebates, and MediSave top-ups, these measures aim to ease daily expenses and maintain financial stability for Singapore’s senior community.
