When i apply for sbf i selected both MCPS for my newborn and PPS as my parents stay at the same area e.g seng kang.
So meanings to say the mcps make my ballot result higher and I fall under pps scheme? So my parents have to go down.
What if hdb say ur sengkang and ur parents were 4km away.. not near and not eligible foe grant?
Lastly does they really follow the total grant table as what our average hse hold income...
e.g average hsehold 1500-2000
grant amount 75000.
add on pps 20k means 95000?
later go down only say 40k lol.
First off,
PPS - priority scheme for having kids with your married partner.
MCPS - priority scheme for staying near parents (within a certain radius).
Since you mentioned that you applied for both schemes..
When HDB run the balloting system, you will be balloted under PPS first and then MCPS. Because of the kids, PPS has more priority.
As for MCPS, you will need to input your parents address at the point of application. I believe you will be forfeited out of the scheme if they checked that it is out of the radius (cant cfm this, but should be the case). MCPS will require your parents to be present during the selection appt. In the event they cant make it for the appt, please rmb to call/email HDB to rearrange another day for them.
Easiest/fastest way to check which scheme your application falls under is to call HDB.
As for the grant..
MCPS and PPS has no grant, they are only priority schemes meant to give you priority in the balloting process.
Take a look at this link about grants - http://www.hdb.gov.sg/cs/infoweb/residential/buying-a-flat/new/first-timer-applicants
I only rmb that AHG is for 2-room or larger with income ceiling of $5000. SHG is for 4-room or small with income ceiling below $8500.
I am not sure if it is different for first-timers or second timers.
Assuming you and your partner are first-timers with income ceiling of $1501 - $2000, you should be able to get AHG of $35,000 and SHG of $40,000. Which is total of $75,000.
