CPF picks Great Eastern for enhanced DPS

Members up to age 60 will be covered for a $70,000 sum.

The Central Provident Fund Board (CPF) has chosen Great Eastern as the insurer for Dependants’ Protection Scheme (DPS) for members over the next five years, a statement read.

In the newly enhanced scheme starting April 2021, DPS members up to age 60 will be covered for a sum assured of $70,000, whilst those above age 60 to 65 years old will be covered for a sum assured of $55,000.

No action is required for members with an active DPS cover as at 1 April 2021 as their coverage will be renewed automatically on an annual basis before their 65th birthday. Members will be notified of the changes to their premiums either through SMS, email or letter from February 2021.

Members aged 60 and above but below 65 years, whose DPS covers have ceased or will cease before 1 April 2021, can rejoin through applying directly with Great Eastern when the new contract comes into effect.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
