This digital platform consolidates essential worker aid schemes—such as the Workfare Income Supplement (WIS), Workfare Special Payment, and CPF top-ups—to streamline benefit access and boost financial stability.
This comprehensive support reflects the government’s long-term vision of enhancing job sustainability, promoting social mobility, and encouraging continued CPF contributions among both employees and self-employed persons (SEPs).
