Singapore $760 Relief Payment 2025: Singapore households are set to receive increased support to help manage rising living costs in 2025. The government is introducing a $760 relief payment, delivered as rebates on utility bills. This forms part of the enhanced Assurance Package and Cost-of-Living (COL) Support, effectively doubling the usual U-Save rebate that HDB households receive.
With energy prices, water rates, and carbon taxes continuing to rise, this initiative aims to ease the financial burden for families, particularly those living in HDB flats.
Key Highlights of the $760 Relief Payment
- Total Support: Up to $760 per eligible household
- Form of Relief: Rebates on utilities, including electricity, gas, and water
- Eligible Households: HDB households with at least one Singaporean citizen
- Exclusions: Private property owners and households with members owning multiple homes
- Payment Schedule: April 2025, July 2025, October 2025, and January 2026
- Additional Support: $800 CDC vouchers issued in two phases
How the Relief Works
The 2025 payout is part of the U-Save scheme, which helps lower utility costs for Singaporean households. This year, the payout has been enhanced through the Cost-of-Living and Assurance Package adjustments, allowing households to receive up to $760 in total rebates.
Key points:
- Rebates are applied directly to SP Services accounts for HDB households.
- No application is required the payment is automatic.
- Smaller HDB flats receive higher rebates, ensuring that support is targeted toward those who need it most.
Who Qualifies?
Eligibility is focused on fairness and ensuring assistance reaches households most affected by rising costs:
- Only HDB households qualify; private property owners are excluded.
- At least one resident must be a Singaporean citizen.
- Partially rented-out flats remain eligible if a Singaporean occupies the unit.
- Households where a member owns more than one property are not eligible.
This approach prioritizes middle- and lower-income families who are more likely to feel the impact of inflation.
Payment Schedule
The $760 rebate will be distributed in quarterly installments:
| Disbursement | Rebate Type | Month |
|---|---|---|
| 1st Payment | Regular U-Save + COL U-Save | April 2025 |
| 2nd Payment | Regular U-Save + Assurance Package | July 2025 |
| 3rd Payment | Regular U-Save + COL U-Save | October 2025 |
| 4th Payment | Regular U-Save + Assurance Package | January 2026 |
This staggered approach ensures consistent relief throughout the year.
Rebates by HDB Flat Size
| Flat Type | April | July | Oct | Jan | Total 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1- & 2-room | $190 | $190 | $190 | $190 | $760 |
| 3-room | $170 | $170 | $170 | $170 | $680 |
| 4-room | $150 | $150 | $150 | $150 | $600 |
