Supplements ElderShield to provide protection against severe disability1
Provides higher payouts with level premiums that do not increase with your age2
Offers choices in benefit payout duration
Our golden years should be relaxing and stress-free. However, the high financial cost of severe disability can impact your lifestyle and goals. For this reason, the Ministry of Health (MOH) designed ElderShield to provide monthly cash payouts for those with severe disabilities requiring long-term care.
ElderShield provides a basic level of protection against severe disability1 and is designed to be a starting point for your needs. With Singlife ElderShield Standard and Singlife ElderShield Plus, which are MediSave-approved ElderShield Supplements, you can transform your ElderShield coverage to get higher payouts that last up to a lifetime. The premiums do not increase with age too2.
