All Pioneer and Merdeka Generation seniors, including those residing overseas, will receive the Pioneer Generation Subsidies and Merdeka Generation Subsidies automatically. This is regardless of their income, Annual Value (AV) of residence and property ownership.

Singapore Citizens’ and Permanent Residents’ eligibility for Premium Subsidies for the lower- to middle-income households will be subject to criteria such as household monthly income per person, AV of residence and multiple property ownership. It will be assessed based on the individual’s residential address as reflected on his/her NRIC.

If your residential address is an overseas address or if you or your household have confirmed with the Ministry of Health (MOH) that you are overseas, MOH will not be able to assess you for MediShield Life Premium Subsidies as they are unable to obtain the necessary information to determine your eligibility. You will need to apply and submit sufficient documentation for MOH to assess your eligibility for Premium Subsidies prior to the applicable policy year.

If you or your household wish to request for a review of your eligibility for MediShield Life Premium Subsidies, please submit your request through this online form, with the following documents:

i)   Overseas identification documents;  

ii) Declaration of household members staying at the overseas address;

iii)    Latest pay slips (for the past 12 months) or Income Tax returns (for the latest Year of Assessment) for each working household member;

iv)   Property tax document, property valuation document or Sales and Purchase Agreement (dated not more than 5 years ago) if you own the overseas property that you are residing in or a valid tenancy agreement if you are renting your place of residence; and

v)   Declaration of no. of properties owned.
