There is no official one-off S$700 cash payout announced for 2025. The “S$700” figure people keep quoting usually comes from the Assurance Package (AP) Cash, where an adult Singapore citizen (21+) receives a total of S$700–S$2,250 spread over 2022–2026, not a single 2025 cheque. In 2025, confirmed support includes GST Voucher (GSTV) – Cash up to S$850 in August 2025, CDC Vouchers (S$500 in May 2025 + S$300 in Jan 2026), U-Save rebates (up to S$190 in Oct 2025; up to S$760 in FY2025), and other AP components such as AP MediSave.

How the 2025 Support Really Works (and why you keep seeing “S$700”)
1) Assurance Package (AP) Cash is multi-year, not a single 2025 payout
Under the Assurance Package, adult Singapore citizens (21+) receive cash across five years (2022–2026), with total amounts ranging from S$700 to S$2,250 depending on Assessable Income and property ownership. That “S$700” is the lower end of the five-year total, not a single 2025 transfer.
2) The major cash event in 2H2025 is GSTV – Cash (August 2025)
On 7 July 2025, MOF confirmed over 1.5 million eligible adults would get up to S$850 in GSTV – Cash in August 2025, tiered by YA2024 assessable income and home Annual Value (AV). This is the key nationwide cash credit in the second half of 2025.
3) CDC Vouchers continue (Budget 2025)
Every Singaporean household receives S$800 in CDC Vouchers across two tranches: S$500 from 13 May 2025 and S$300 in January 2026. Vouchers are split for use at heartland merchants/hawkers and supermarkets.
4) U-Save (utilities) rebates in October 2025
More than 950,000 HDB households receive up to S$190 in October 2025 under U-Save, with up to S$760 for FY2025 in total, depending on flat type.
5) AP MediSave and other components
AP MediSave credited S$150 in February 2025 for eligible age groups (20 and below; 55 and above). MOF also outlined AP Seniors’ Bonus cash for early 2025 check your exact eligibility and credit mode on GovBenefits/SupportGoWhere.

- GSTV – Cash (Aug 2025): Singapore citizens meeting income and AV criteria; typically one property rule applies. Payout band (e.g., S$450 vs S$850) depends on the AV and income tier.
- CDC Vouchers: All Singaporean households (claim digitally; split usage across hawkers/merchants and supermarkets).

- No fees, no “fast-track agents”: Application is not required for most payouts. Ignore websites promising to “apply for you” for a fee use only the official links below.
