What is the Workfare Income Supplement Scheme enhancement that applies to platform workers?

Updated by CPF
Eligible platform workers who are mandated or opt in to the increased CPF contributions will receive higher Workfare Income Supplement Scheme (WIS) payments matching those of employees starting from 2029, once their CPF contribution rates align fully with those of employees. They will also receive a higher proportion of WIS payments in cash from the current 10% to 40%.
 
All eligible platform workers will also receive WIS monthly (instead of annually) from March 2025 (for Work Year 2025 onwards). This is because platform operators will deduct CPF contributions from platform workers as they earn and submit them to CPF Board monthly starting from 2025 onwards. This includes MediSave contributions for those who do not opt in to increased CPF contributions.
