There are two components in the consent declaration:

1) General Consent and Declaration

- This serves two primary purposes:

a) Ensure compliance with requirement(s) in any statute, subsidiary legislation, Code of Practice and/or for audit purposes (see Consent Clause 12); and

b) Enable MSF/ECDA to analyse and evaluate data to enhance policies and develop new social services and public assistance schemes (as per Consent Clause 6).

- This applies to all applications, including individuals who do not qualify for subsidy/Kindergarten Fee Assistance Scheme (KiFAS), such as non-Singapore Citizen children.

- For applications for children eligible for subsidy/KiFAS, LifeSG Form 1 will display the list of consent clauses and prompt you, your spouse, and family members [for Per Capita Income (PCI) cases] to declare your consent and declaration via checkbox.

- For applications for children not eligible for subsidy/KiFAS, LifeSG Form 1 will display the list of consent clauses and prompt you and your spouse to declare your consent and declaration via checkbox.

(2) HOMES Consent

- This serves two primary purposes:

a) Allow HOMES/ECDA to determine the subsidy/KiFAS amount through backend means-testing; and

b) Provide citizens options on which participating schemes can have access to their personal information needed to assess their or their family’s eligibility for their schemes.

- This applies to applicant/spouse/family member(s) of Singapore Citizen children eligible for subsidy/KiFAS.

- LifeSG Form 1 will prompt you, your spouse, and family members (for PCI cases) who are aged 21 years old and above to indicate which HOMES Participating Schemes can use and share their personal information to determine their eligibility for the selected schemes.

- There are two options provided:

a) All HOMES Participating Schemes - This allows all HOMES Participating Schemes (https://www.homes.gov.sg/eservice/ParticipatingScheme) to access personal information needed to assess eligibility for your schemes.

b) All Schemes administered by MSF and ECDA - This allows only MSF and ECDA Schemes to access personal information to assess eligibility for the Scheme(s) under MSF and ECDA.
