measures summary

Adjusted from 1 May 2020: The government has rolled out various initiatives to help Singaporeans tide over this difficult period. For those who have lost their jobs or suffered significant income due to the pandemic, they can tap on the COVID-19 Support Grant (CSG), which disburses up to S$800 a month for three months for those eligible. This grant will be extended to 31 December 2020, but with revised eligibility criteria. From 1 October, those applying for the CSG should also not own more than one property. This is to ensure that the support is given to those with less means, explained the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF). All those who are unemployed and are applying for the CSG must also demonstrate job search or training efforts to qualify for the help, added the MSF in a media statement.
