You can sign up for the Standing Order Withdrawal Service if you intend to withdraw your CPF every year. By giving a one-time authorisation to the Board, the CPF which you can withdraw will be credited to your bank account on your birthday or a few days after.
If you sign up for the Standing Order Withdrawal Service, you may wish to make alternative financial arrangements if you are using your CPF for your housing loan repayments and/or payments under the various CPF schemes.
You may transfer the withdrawable Ordinary and/or Special Account balances to your Medisave Account for your healthcare needs in retirement. To do so, simply instruct the Board to make the transfer to your Medisave Account upon your CPF withdrawal. The transfer of the savings to your Medisave Account is capped at the prevailing Medisave Contribution Ceiling or Voluntary Contributions Limit, whichever is lower.
An undischarged bankrupt may apply for withdrawal at 55 but must first set aside the following three amounts:
| |
1) |
Amount to meet living expenses from age 55 to draw-down age. |
| |
2) |
Amount to meet retirement needs from draw-down age. |
| |
3) |
Amount to be retained in the Medisave Account (i.e. Medisave Required Amount or Medisave Minimum Sum, whichever is higher) to meet hospitalization expenses. |
If the member is unable to set aside the above amounts, he can only withdraw his CPF savings in monthly installment(s). |
