GST Voucher 2026 MediSave: How Much Will Seniors Get?
Singapore Citizens aged 65 and above in 2026 may qualify for GSTV – MediSave.

GST Voucher 2026 Payout Date
For GSTV – Cash, the payment date depends on your payment method.
GSTV – Cash payment schedule
| Payment method | 2026 payment |
|---|---|
| PayNow-NRIC | By 7 August 2026 |
| Bank crediting | By 18 August 2026 |
| GovCash | By 25 August 2026 |
Eligible recipients who had previously signed up for government benefits do not need to sign up again. The Ministry of Finance said existing beneficiaries would automatically receive their eligible GSTV payments.
If you are receiving GSTV – Cash through PayNow-NRIC, linking your NRIC to PayNow by the relevant deadline allows you to receive the payment in the earliest payment window.
GSTV – MediSave payment date
Eligible GSTV – MediSave recipients will have the money credited to their CPF MediSave Account. For the 2026 payout, the crediting is scheduled by 11 August 2026.
GSTV – U-Save 2026
GSTV – U-Save helps eligible HDB households offset their utilities bills.
For FY2026, the Government has also provided additional Budget 2026 U-Save. Eligible households receive 1.5 times the regular U-Save amount during FY2026.
The total regular GSTV – U-Save plus Budget 2026 U-Save support for FY2026 is:
| HDB flat type | Total FY2026 U-Save |
|---|---|
| 1- and 2-room | S$570 |
| 3-room | S$510 |
| 4-room | S$450 |
| 5-room | S$390 |
| Executive / Multi-Generation | S$330 |
The U-Save rebates are credited directly to the eligible household’s utilities account and cannot be converted into cash. Unused credits can be rolled over to offset future utilities bills.
Who Can Get GSTV – U-Save?
Generally, the household must live in an eligible HDB flat and satisfy the citizenship and property-ownership conditions.
For a flat that is not fully rented out, there must be at least one Singapore Citizen owner or occupier. If the entire flat is rented out, there must be at least one Singapore Citizen tenant.
Households whose members own or have an interest in more than one property are not eligible for U-Save.
GSTV – S&CC Rebate
The GSTV – S&CC Rebate helps eligible HDB households offset their Service and Conservancy Charges.
Unlike GSTV – Cash, this benefit is linked to the household and HDB flat rather than being paid as cash to an individual.
Eligible households can check their S&CC rebate information through MyHDB Page using Singpass. The official GovBenefits guidance says users can go to:
My Flat → Purchased Flat/Rental Flat → View Service & Conservancy Charges (S&CC) Rebate.
What Is Assessable Income (AI)?
Assessable Income, or AI, is an important factor in determining GSTV – Cash eligibility.
It generally represents your total income after allowable deductions such as approved donations and allowable expenses.
For GSTV 2026, the relevant income assessment is YA 2025, which is based on income earned in 2024.
You can view your Notice of Assessment and tax information through the IRAS digital services using Singpass.
What Is Annual Value (AV)?
Annual Value (AV) is another important eligibility factor.
It is an estimate of the gross annual rent that the property could earn if rented out, excluding furniture, furnishings and maintenance fees. It is based on market rental information for comparable properties.
Importantly, AV is not simply the actual rental income you receive.
Your relevant residential property’s AV is considered as at 31 December 2025 for GSTV 2026.
How to Check GST Voucher 2026 Eligibility
If you want to know exactly whether you qualify and how much you will receive, the safest method is to check through the official Singapore Government benefits portal.
Log in with your Singpass and check your GST Voucher eligibility and payment information.
Check GST Voucher Eligibility on GovBenefits
Do not rely on messages from unofficial websites, WhatsApp groups or social-media posts claiming that you must download an app to receive GST Voucher money.
Do You Need to Apply for GST Voucher 2026?
If you previously signed up for government payouts such as GSTV, eligible recipients generally do not need to sign up again.
If you have never signed up, the Government provides a later sign-up window. The Ministry of Finance stated that citizens could sign up by 14 July 2026 to receive the August 2026 payment cycle.
For people signing up after that date, payment will be made in a later cycle after the eligibility and payment details have been processed.
Therefore, if you have not received your payment, check your status through the official GovBenefits portal rather than assuming that you are not eligible.
