Life is unpredictable. In this new economy, there may be times when you would like a change of environment and leave your workplace or if you are unlucky, you may lose your job. What do you need to know if you are unemployed for a period of time? |

Your housing arrangements |
| |
| |
You will be able to continue to service your CPF monthly instalment with your Ordinary Account balances, subject to the CPF Withdrawal Limit imposed. However, should there be zero balance in your CPF account and you have no contributions for the last 6 months, your CPF monthly instalment will cease. You will be informed of this via a letter to your mailing address as maintained with the CPF Board, when this happens.
If you wish to revise your CPF monthly instalment via my cpf Online Services – My Requests, click here.
Should you encounter difficulties in servicing your housing loan, you may wish to approach HDB / your financier for financial assistance or housing re-financing. | |

Your MediShield cover |
| |
| |
You need to ensure that there are sufficient balances in your Medisave Account for your annual MediShield or Medisave-approved Integrated Shield Plans premium deduction. This is to prevent your cover from being terminated due to insufficient funds.
Alternatively, you can request your immediate family members (spouse, children, parents) to help to take over the payment of premium during this period.
You can check the status of your MediShield coverage here. | |

Your DPS cover |
| |
| |
Your DPS cover will continue to be in force unless you had chose to opt out of the scheme or your cover is not renewed due to insufficient funds. If you do not have sufficient funds in your Ordinary/Special Account for your premium deduction, you may wish to pay the difference in cash or be insured for a lower amount.
