Gov’t to provide temporary financial support for unemployed job seekers

The scheme will provide financial support of up to $6,000 over six months.

The SkillsFuture Jobseeker Support (JS) scheme will provide temporary financial support to lower- and middle-income involuntarily unemployed jobseekers starting 15 April.

The scheme will provide successful applicants with temporary financial support of up to $6,000 over six months.

Residents with a gross monthly income not exceeding $5,000 and residing in properties with an annual value of $31,000 or less are eligible, provided other criteria are met.

Applicants must also be employed in Singapore for at least six months in the past twelve months prior to the application for support.

As a one-off concession, applicants who lost their jobs involuntarily on or after 1 April 2024 and do not meet this criterion can still qualify for the scheme if all other criteria are met.

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.
