Why is the withdrawal based on my MediSave account’s balance? Why not withdraw from my Ordinary or Special Account?

Updated by AIC

The Central Provident Fund (CPF) is a social security system that allows members to set aside savings for retirement. The Ordinary Account is for housing, insurance, investment and education purposes. The Special Account is for retirement income and retirement-related investments.

The MediSave Account is used for healthcare purposes, such as paying for hospitalisation expenses, approved outpatient medical care and approved medical insurance premiums.
