CareShield Life premiums and payouts to increase from 2026
Singaporeans will pay more for CareShield Life and receive higher claims payouts starting next year. This follows the first review of the national disability insurance scheme since its launch in 2020. The enhanced payouts and premiums will apply until 2030, and will be reviewed by the government after. To help citizens with the rising premiums, the government will provide S$570 million over the next five years to defray the costs. Sabrina Ng with more.
