Our social support schemes are generally means-tested to ensure support is targeted to help Singaporeans with greater needs. For AP Seniors' Bonus, the approach of using both AV and AI is to enable us to better target the support to those who are in need of greater help.

For AP Cash, the benefits are meant for all adult Singaporeans to cushion the impact of the GST increase. Lower-income Singaporeans and those who do not own more than one property will receive higher cash benefits.
