What happens to my unused CPF transfers and cash top-ups to my recipient upon his demise or if he closes his CPF account upon leaving Singapore?
Cash top-ups and CPF transfers will generally be treated as gifts to the recipient. Any unused cash top-ups or CPF transfers will be paid to the recipient's beneficiaries upon his demise, or to the recipient himself if he closes his CPF account and withdraws his CPF savings upon leaving Singapore. This is subject to safeguards to prevent premature withdrawals.
