SINGAPORE - Singaporeans from the Pioneer and Merdeka generations will receive MediSave top-ups of between $200 and $900 next month.

This year's MediSave top-ups will cost the Government $270 million, the Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Health said in a joint statement on Monday .

If they are aged 83 and above in 2022 and have serious pre-existing conditions, they will get an additional $50 or $200 annually, up to 2025, to help with higher MediShield Life premiums.The Pioneer Generation Package was introduced in 2014 to honour and thank this group of Singaporeans for their contributions during Singapore's early years.

Seniors who have downloaded and set up their Singpass - a digital identity app for Singaporeans - will receive notifications in their app by June 21, letting them know the top-up amount they are eligible for. With the ongoing prevalence of scams, the SMS will only outline the benefits and will not ask for a reply or for any information to be given. Nor will any texts be sent via WhatsApp or other such messaging platforms, said the ministries.
