READ: Solidarity Budget: S$600 cash support for all adult Singaporeans, other cash payouts to be brought forward to June
Singaporeans aged 50 and above in 2020 will each receive an extra S$100 cash, in place of the earlier announced PAssion Card top-up. In February, Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat announced the package, noting that many families are facing greater pressures due to the economic slowdown and the uncertainties of the COVID-19 outbreak.
In total, eligible Singaporeans will receive S$900, S$600 or S$300 this year depending on their assessable income for 2019. In April, S$300 was paid as part of the S$600 Solidarity Payment.
