Special Needs Savings Scheme

Under this scheme, CPF savings will be distributed to the nominated child on a monthly basis. This differs from CPF cash nomination which provides a lump sum payment.

You can determine the amount of monthly payouts for your nominated child, at the point of application. The minimum payout will be $250 per month, with a minimum duration of at least one year.

The disbursement will be made to the legal guardian or the court-appointed deputy (if the child has one), when the deputy or legal guardian applies to the CPF Board on behalf of the child with disabilities.

If the child with disabilities has the mental capacity to handle financial affairs at the point of disbursement, the disbursement will be made to his/her bank account.

1. If he/she has a valid Lasting Power of Attorney with an appointed donee, the CPF Board would make payment to the donee when he/she steps forward to apply on behalf of the person with disabilities.
2. If he/she had not made a valid Lasting Power of Attorney, a third party may apply to the court to be appointed as the SNSS nominee's deputy, and the CPF Board will make payment to the court-appointed deputy when he/she applies on behalf of the person with disabilities.
