Are your MediSave Account (MA) savings about to reach the Basic Healthcare Sum (BHS)? Keep watching to see where your excess savings go when the BHS is met! πŸ‘€

πŸ’‘The BHS is the maximum savings you need in your MediSave Account for basic subsidised healthcare in old age.

When your BHS is reached, your savings will flow to your Special Account (SA) and Ordinary Account (OA), ensuring a balanced allocation across your CPF accounts. This helps you tap into your savings for other essential needs such as housing repayment 🏠.

Do you know someone who is aged 55 or above? Let them know that their Special Account (SA) has been closed since 19 Jan 2025.

Their SA savings have been transferred to their Retirement Account (RA), up to their cohort’s Full Retirement Sum (FRS), where they will continue to earn the long-term interest rate from Jan 2025 onwards. If they’ve already set aside their FRS, any remaining SA savings have been transferred to their Ordinary Account (OA) where they will have the flexibility to withdraw them when needed. πŸ’°

If they would like to continue earning the higher interest rate of 4% per annum and enjoy higher retirement payouts, they can transfer their OA savings to their RA up to the current year’s Enhanced Retirement Sum (ERS). Do note that this transfer is irreversible and can be made anytime.
