Under a transfer order, do I need to set aside my retirement sum before my ex-spouse can receive their entitlement?

Source: https://www.cpf.gov.sg/memberThe transfer of CPF savings to your ex-spouse can take place without you setting aside your retirement sum* first. This gives your ex-spouse certainty over the amount they can receive and they can use them immediately for approved purposes such as housing, investment and education. Your ex-spouse may also withdraw the CPF savings when they are entitled to.
In the event of a transfer of CPF savings upon the making of housing refunds pursuant to a disposal of the property, the Board will first transfer the amount to your ex-spouse. Thereafter, the remaining refunds will be used to make up your retirement sum, up to your applicable Full Retirement Sum. Any balance refunds will then be paid to you.
*Only applies to members aged 55 and above.
