1.	Under what conditions will members need to set aside or top-up the Required Amount in their Medisave Accounts?
	The requirement to set aside or top-up the Medisave Account is applicable to members aged 55 and above, who a. Make CPF withdrawals starting from 1 Jan 2004, including members who make subsequent withdrawals, b. Meet the CPF Minimum Sum, and c. Have less than the Required Amount in their Medisave Accounts The exceptions are: a. where CPF withdrawals are made on the grounds that a member is physically/mentally incapacitated or found to be of unsound mind, as these members would require their OA and SA savings for their on-going medical treatment. b. for members who turned 55 before 1st July 1995.
2.	What is the required amount to be set aside or topped-up?
	The Required Amount for 2008 is $14,000. The Required Amount will increase each year by $2,500 (adjusted for inflation) to reach $25,000 (in 2003 dollars) in 2013.
3.	Do pensioners need to set aside the Required Amount in their Medisave accounts?
	For pensioners, they will be required to set aside or top-up a lower Required Amount, if they meet the CPF Minimum Sum. The amount depends on what type of medical benefit scheme they are under, as follows:
	Type of Medical Benefit Scheme   Applicable Required Amount Fixed Amount on Ward Charges (FAW) : 0 Co-Payment on Ward Scheme (CPW) : Half of the Required Amount Comprehensive Co-Payment Scheme (CCS) : Full Required Amount
	Note: The topping-up of the Medisave Account is also applicable to pensioners who have been exempted (in full or partially) from CPF Minimum Sum.
