I am born in 1980 or later and have severe disability. Can I still benefit from CareShield Life?

Question

Accepted Answer

CareShield Life will cover all Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents born in 1980 or later, including those who have severe disability. You will be able to benefit from CareShield Life after you are enrolled into CareShield Life from 1 October 2020 or when you turn 30 years old, whichever is later.

As part of collective responsibility, those with pre-existing severe disabilities should contribute one premium payment to join the scheme. The payment amount is less than the first monthly CareShield Life payout you will receive. Upon joining the scheme, you will continue to receive monthly payouts for as long as you are unable to perform three or more Activities of Daily Living (ADLs).

The Government will provide means-tested premium subsidies, and Additional Premium Support to help those who are still unable to afford premiums even after subsidies. Claims will be paid out as long as insureds meet the claims criteria.
