I am a Public Assistance (also known as ComCare Long Term Assistance) recipient who is receiving Silver Support. Can I qualify for higher Silver Support?
Seniors aged 65 and above on the ComCare Long Term Assistance (LTA) Scheme will automatically qualify for the Silver Support (SS) Scheme and receive a flat amount of $360 per quarter, regardless of their HDB flat type.
The SS supplements the monthly cash assistance provided by the ComCare LTA Scheme, which currently covers the recipient's daily living expenses, free medical treatment and highly subsidised social services if needed. ComCare LTA beneficiaries also receive medical assistance at polyclinics and government/restructured hospitals, free or highly subsidised social services such as home help, or senior activity centres funded by the government.
