Support For Households

All eligible HDB households will receive double their regular GST Voucher (GSTV) – U-Save in April 2022, July 2022, and October 2022 under the HSP. This will help with households’ utilities expenses. Together with the additional GSTV – U-Save rebates under the Assurance Package (AP) for GST that will be given in January 2023, eligible HDB households will receive double their regular GSTV – U-Save rebates in FY2022 (see Table 1).

This will benefit about 950,000 Singaporean households.

The Government will provide families with additional support for their children’s education-related expenses. Each Singaporean child will receive a one-off $200 top-up to the CDA, Edusave account, or PSEA (see Table 2 for details). The top-up to the Edusave account is in addition to the annual Edusave contribution by the Government.

The top-ups will benefit about 790,000 children.
