WIS eligibility criteria:

- Comcare Short-to-Medium Term Assistance recipient
- Caregiver of a care recipient. This generally includes caregivers residing with care recipients who are medically certified to have permanent moderate to severe disabilities. For more information on who are considered eligible caregivers, you can refer to this FAQ.
Self-employed persons (SEPs) must make full MediSave contributions to qualify for concessionary WIS, even if you are not required to contribute under the Self-Employed Scheme.
Your contribution amount depends on your age during the work year (see table below). You have two years to make these contributions after the work year ends. For example, if you worked in 2024, you should contribute by 31 December 2026.
