If you’re a Singaporean aged 50 or above, this one matters. The Majulah Package is one of the most meaningful retirement support moves in recent years, especially for seniors worried about CPF savings, healthcare costs, and monthly payouts later on.
Announced as part of Singapore’s long-term ageing strategy, the Majulah Package provides up to S$1,500 per eligible senior through a mix of CPF top-ups, MediSave credits, and limited cash support, spread across 2024 to 2026. For many, this directly boosts retirement income without needing to do anything.
| Majulah Package Component | What You Get | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| CPF Retirement Account Top-up | Up to S$1,500 (varies by profile) | Higher CPF LIFE monthly payouts |
| MediSave Top-ups | Annual credits | Helps pay for healthcare & insurance |
| Cash Payouts (selected seniors) | Small one-off amounts | Short-term cost relief |
| Automatic Disbursement | No application required | Less hassle for seniors |
What Is the Majulah Package?
The Majulah Package is a targeted retirement support scheme for Singapore Citizens born in 1973 or earlier. Instead of spreading benefits thinly, it focuses on seniors who need help the most — especially those with lower CPF balances and limited retirement income.
Unlike simple cash handouts, most of the money goes straight into CPF Retirement Accounts (RA) and MediSave, where it earns interest and supports long-term needs. Honestly speaking, this makes the support more useful over time.
How the S$1,500 CPF Top-Ups Help Seniors
This is where the real value is. CPF top-ups under the Majulah Package are credited directly into your CPF accounts and earn guaranteed CPF interest rates.
Key CPF Benefits Explained
- Retirement Account (RA) top-ups raise your eventual CPF LIFE monthly payout
- MediSave top-ups help cover future hospital bills, insurance premiums, and long-term care
- Funds are protected and can’t be spent too early, which keeps retirement plans on track
For most Singaporeans, this means slightly higher monthly income every year after retirement — small boost, but it adds up.
Majulah Package Payout Timeline (2024–2026)
The payouts don’t come all at once. They are staggered over several years, so seniors benefit steadily.
- CPF and MediSave top-ups start from 2024 and continue into 2026
- Cash payouts, where applicable, are paid via PayNow-NRIC or bank accounts
- No sign-ups, no forms — eligibility is assessed automatically
You can check your status anytime using official government portals.
Who Is Eligible for the Majulah Package?
To qualify, you must meet all of these conditions:
- Singapore Citizen
- Born in 1973 or earlier
- Meet income and property ownership limits
- CPF retirement savings below certain thresholds
Lower- and middle-income seniors are prioritised. If your CPF balance isn’t high, chances are this package is meant for you.
Why the Majulah Package Is a Big Deal for Retirement
For seniors who worry about outliving their savings, the Majulah Package quietly strengthens long-term security.
It helps to:
- Increase CPF LIFE payouts without topping up your own cash
- Reduce reliance on children for daily expenses
- Prepare for rising healthcare and long-term care costs
- Support independent ageing, whether you live in the heartlands or CBD
No hype here — it’s practical, targeted, and useful.
