DPS is a term-life insurance – created to protect you and your loved ones, should the unforeseen happen to you.
DPS coverage is automatically extended to all working Singapore Citizens or Permanent Residents, upon a valid CPF working contribution between the age of 21 and 65. It provides coverage against Death, Terminal Illness [1] and Total Permanent Disability [2].
What DPS covers you for:
Your premiums can be paid using your CPF Ordinary and/or Special Account. As long as you have sufficient funds, no out-of-pocket cash is required. The premium will be deducted yearly based on your attained age for the maximum sum assured of S$70,000 up to the end of the policy year during which you turn 60 years old. After which, your maximum sum assured is S$55,000 up to the end of the policy year during which you turn 65 years old.
One month before your renewal date, a notification letter will be sent to you. If there are insufficient funds in both accounts for a minimum cover of S$5,000, we will also notify you and no premium will be deducted from your CPF account. You may then choose to make payment through other methods available.
