Important Note: Beware of Scammers (updated 14 Apr)

SMS Notification on Solidarity Payment (updated 28 Apr)

Singapore Citizens to receive SMS notifications on the Solidarity Payment

Successful Payment Notification

If the Solidarity Payment was successfully made to your bank account on 14 April, you would have received an SMS notification from MOF on 15 April, on the payment, as well as the bank account that the money has been credited into.
The successful payment will be reflected as “GOV” in your bank passbook, or “GOVT PAYOUT”/”Government Payout” in your bank statement.

Updating of Bank Account Details Notification

You will receive an SMS notification on 17 April providing a link to the secure Gov.sg form at https://go.gov.sg/spsc where you can log in with your SingPass to submit your bank account details to the Government. You only need to do so if you have not submitted this form before.
This form is for Singapore Citizens to provide their bank account details if they have not previously received Government payouts.
To verify the authenticity of the SMS notification, citizens can check that the SMS contains “.gov.sg” links. Singapore Citizens who provide their bank account details via the form will receive their payment on 28 April.

Cheque Payment Notification

You may have received an SMS indicating that you will receive the Solidarity Payment via cheque from 30 April, even if you have submitted your bank account details via the secure Gov.sg form before 14 April.
This means that the payment on 14 April to your bank account in our records was unsuccessful due to various reasons (e.g. the bank account on our records had closed). When that happens, our process is to switch to cheque payment mode to ensure that you will still be able to timely receive your Solidarity Payment.
We seek your understanding that a cheque will be mailed to you from 30 April, which can then be dropped into the Quick Cheque Deposit Boxes at your preferred bank within 6 months of the cheque issuance date.
We assure you that the bank account details that you have submitted via the secure Gov.sg form will be used for future Government payouts, e.g. the Care and Support – Cash payout from June 2020.

How and when will I receive the payment?

For Adult Singaporeans

- If you are among the 90% of Singaporeans who have provided your bank account details to the Government for payouts such as the SG Bonus in 2018* and GST Voucher, and your account remains active, your Solidarity Payment of $600 will be directly credited into your bank account on 14 April 2020. From 15 April 2020, you will receive an SMS notifying you of the details of the bank crediting.
  *Does not refer to those who signed-up to receive SG Bonus (2018) via PayNow-NRIC, for which the Government would not have received your bank account details then.
- Otherwise, you will receive an SMS from 15 April 2020, informing you to submit your bank account details by 23 April 2020 via https://go.gov.sg/spsc with your SingPass. You only need to do so if you have not provided your bank account details at the link. After providing your bank account details, you will be able to receive the Solidarity Payment of $600 in your bank account on 28 April 2020.
- The small remaining group of Singaporeans who did not provide their bank account details will receive the cheque mailed to their NRIC-registered addresses for the Solidarity Payment of $600 in stages from 30 April 2020.

For Adult Permanent Residents living in Singapore

- If you have an immediate family member, i.e. parent(s), spouse or child(ren) who is a Singaporean, you may apply for the Solidarity Payment at https://go.gov.sg/sppr with your SingPass, by 10 May 2020. If you provide your bank account details, you will be able to receive the $300 Solidarity Payment in your bank account on 19 May 2020, and receive an SMS notifying you of the details of the bank crediting.
