I just checked my CPF and realised that the MA interest is accumulated within the new $66k-limited MA instead of overflowing to the SA/OA.

Hence, the $3k top-up hack for MA on 1 Jan does not fully work. Those who hit already $63k will see about $65.5k in the MA, which only allows about $0.5k of top-up for a tax deduction in 2023.

My interest this year is $19k+ :)

From what I remember happened early in 2021, there will be a transfer between accounts to move the MA interest. Just wait a day or two.

Oh yes, I now remember that there will be a transfer later. I have already done about $0.5k of top-up. I will make another top-up tonight before my Dec CPF contribution comes in.

Now I am confused, it is showing the MA interest transferred to OA, but last year it was to SA.

But I think the general principle that CPF is a bit messed up in first few days of January holds. o_O

That is correct.
If your MA hit 63K in 2021, the interest generated for MA will either flow to SA or OA.
Now, you have the choice to topup 3K into your MA.

Yes, my MA to OA transfer is now completed. I have also just topped up another batch to make up $3k to my MA :D

Since I am using some MA for my insurance, I will top up more MA throughout the year whenever there is an insurance deduction.

If I topup my MA to 66k, can I withdraw the topup money 3k from OA in future?
