1.5 million Singaporeans to receive up to S$850 in GST vouchers in August

ELIGIBILITY

The Finance Ministry said that eligible recipients of the cash and MediSave GSTV payouts will automatically receive the payments if they have signed up for government disbursement schemes.

Citizens may check their eligibility for the benefits at the govbenefits website – govbenefits.gov.sg – by logging in with their Singpass.

Those who have not previously signed up for the GSTV scheme can do so at the govbenefits website by Jul 9, as they will receive their payments in August.

Those who sign up after Jul 9 and by Jun 20, 2025 will receive their payments by the end of the following month.

Those who have not signed up previously will be notified by end-August 2024 via the Singpass app, SMS, or hardcopy letters sent to their NRIC address if they do not have Singpass app or a Singpass-registered mobile number, MOF said.

The MOF noted that since 2021, it has been using PayNow as the primary payment mode for citizens who have linked their NRIC to PayNow.

MOF said it encourages Singaporeans to link their NRIC to PayNow by Jul 22 if they have an account with one of the 12 participating banks in Singapore. By doing so, they can receive their 2024 GSTV in early August.

Those without PayNow-NRIC linked bank accounts can update their bank account information at the govbenefits website by Jul 26 to receive payment from Aug 12.
