If my loved one has IDAPE, ElderShield 300/400, CareShield Life, supplements, or MediSave Care, can he/ she still qualify for ElderFund?

Updated by AIC

ElderFund supports Singapore Citizens who are not:

  • A CareShield Life or ElderShield policyholder / supplement plan policyholder

  • An active recipient of CareShield Life or ElderShield (including supplement claims)

  • Eligible for or currently receiving payouts from Interim Disability Assistance Programme for the Elderly (IDAPE)


It also seeks to support Singapore Citizens who have low MediSave balances (ie less than $10,000). This means that the amount that they are able to draw from MediSave will not be the full $200 monthly sum allowable under MediSave Care.

Singapore Citizens who are unable to meet their long-term care costs, even after receiving payouts under ElderShield/ CareShield Life, MediSave Care (from himself or his spouse) or IDAPE, may be considered for ElderFund on a case-by-case basis.

Please speak to a medical social worker or AIC for advice.
