Supplements ElderShield to provides protection against severe disability1
Provides higher payouts with level premiums that do not increase with your age
Offers greater flexibility in benefit payout duration
Our golden years should be relaxing and stress free. However, the financial cost of severe disability can be very high. For this reason, the Ministry of Health 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 MyCare, a Medisave-approved ElderShield supplement, you can transform your ElderShield cover into lifetime benefits of higher payouts, with premiums that do not increase with age.
Features
- Lifetime2 or 12-year benefit payouts – guaranteed monthly payouts for the rest of your life2, should your Severe Disability1 strike. Payouts are in cash, so you can use it as you like without any restrictions.
- Limited premium payment term3 for Lifetime2 or 12-year cover – continued protection that allows you to make a claim should Severe Disability1 strike, even after you stop paying premiums at age 67 (from the next birthday onwards)3. Premiums are waived for the duration of your benefit payouts.
- Recover and still receive 50% benefit payouts – if you are unable to perform 2 Activities of Daily Living, MyCare’s Rehabilitation Benefit4 allows you to continue receiving an amount equivalent to 50% of the Severe Disability Benefit5.
- Extra cash for the ones you care about most – an additional S$200 per month, for up to 36 months, if you have any children aged 21 and below.
- Pay with Medisave – use your Medisave funds of up to S$600 per calendar year per Life Assured6, or use the Medisave of your spouse, children, parents or grandchildren.
- Premiums are level7 and based on age at entry – start young to enjoy lower premiums!
