“Pioneers who were born earlier receive larger MediSave top-up amounts as they typically have lesser savings than younger members of the Pioneer Generation, and may need more help with their annual MediShield Life premiums,” said the ministry.<\/p>\n
The top-up will be automatically credited to eligible seniors\u2019 MediSave accounts.<\/p>\n
Pioneer Generation seniors who have registered their mobile numbers with Singpass before Jun 1 will be notified via SMS by Jun 15 of the top-up amount they are eligible for.<\/p>\n
The rest will receive the notification letters by the end of June.<\/p>\n
“These annual MediSave top-ups will continue to keep MediShield Life premiums affordable for all pioneers,” said MOF.<\/p>\n
“Older pioneers born before or in 1934 will continue to see their MediShield Life premiums fully covered. Younger pioneers born between 1935 and 1949 will have about two-thirds of their MediShield Life premiums covered,” the ministry added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
