In Budget 2011, the Government announced a 'Grow & Share' Package of one-off measures to share the fruits of the nation’s growth with all Singaporeans. More benefits will go to lower and middle-income households. The benefits under the 'Grow & Share' Package will also help households to cope with rising expenses. The Package will cost the Government $3.2 billion in total.
The Government has also committed another $3.4 billion for longer-term social investments to enhance Singapore’s well-being, especially to support quality care for the elderly.
Letters are sent out to Singaporeans on their personal and household benefits. Singaporeans can also calculate the benefits they and their households stand to receive here.
