Quick Summary:

The new SkillsFuture Jobseeker Support scheme involves a reset in government policies and in Singaporeans' attitudes, says the Minister for Manpower.

The annual property value threshold of S$25,000 is also aligned with other schemes such as the GST Voucher scheme and covers about 75 per cent of residences, including all public housing, he said.

The scheme starts in April 2025 for eligible Singaporeans, and in the first quarter of 2026 for eligible permanent residents.
