I am a Person with Disability/Comcare Short and Medium Term Assistance recipient/ caregiver of a care recipient and I am earning less than $500 per month. How much Workfare Income Supplement (WIS) will I receive?
You will qualify for concessionary WIS if you are a Person with Disability (PWD), ComCare Short-to-Medium Term Assistance recipient, or a caregiver of a care recipient1 and earn less than $500 per month, while meeting the rest of the WIS eligibility criteria.
For employees, you will receive a flat concessionary payment, based on age:
Age in Work Year
|
30 to 34 years
|
35 to 44 years
|
45 to 59 years
|
60 years and above and all PWDs
|
Monthly concessionary Workfare payment
|
$50
|
$75
|
$120
|
$130
|
Self-employed persons (SEPs) will receive two-thirds of the WIS payments received by employees after they have made the required MediSave contributions.
1 This generally includes caregivers residing with care recipients who are medically certified to have permanent moderate to severe disabilities.
