In October last year, Central Provident Fund announced that the sum assured for the Dependants’ Protection Scheme term life insurance will be increased to S$70,000 from 1 April 2021. Premiums for CPF members 65 and younger also enjoy lower premiums. Great Eastern Life was also awarded a five-year contract as the sole administrator of the DPS from 1 April this year.
The enhanced Dependant’s Protection Scheme will offer close to 2 million DPS members increased insurance coverage at attractive premiums. DPS is a term life insurance that offers payouts of between S$55,000 and S$70,000 in the event of death, terminal illness or total permanent disability.

|---|---|
| 34 years and below | S$18 |
| 35 to 39 years old | S$30 |
| 40 to 44 years old | S$50 |
| 45 to 49 years old | S$93 |
| 50 to 54 years old | S$188 |

The maximum age of coverage has been increased to 65 instead of the previous 60 years. If you are under 60, you will enjoy a higher sum assured of S$70,000 instead of the previous S$46,000 coverage. For DPS members aged between 60 and 65, they will be covered for a sum assured of S$55,000.
