Is it possible (or even true) that rich people can qualify for more assistance/subsidy/handouts etc

[Shion]

For eg. Person A has many children, all working, but not living with Person A and not registered under Person A's house. Person A as an individual is cash rich but CPF poor, while children all earning big bucks. Person A live in a 2-room alone. This type confirm assistance, subsidy, handouts gao gao even though he/she may not need it because he/she is already cash rich, plus children all earning big bucks so their incomes can support sufficiently ???

Another eg. Person B has working children, all living together and registered under Person B's 5-room flat. Person B is cash poor and CPF poor. Working children also not say earn a lot, just average only. This type confirm less likely get that much assistance, subsidy, handouts because of flat size + total household income ?

 

[Ye_Rongtian]

Those that is based on household means test and income level will qualify. Which means automatic qualification like CHAS Blue card, GST vouchers etc. If you want more, like Comcare, no qualify.

Yes, of course, it's obvious if you compare, homeless people have zero CDC vouchers.

I provide a classic example here - Assistance and subsidy for dialysis.

This one, I remember is based on household means test rather than individual. So for this case, if household income level is higher means less assistance or subsidy even if the dialysis patient himself may be not working, cash poor, CPF poor ?

If dialysis patient lives alone or with his/her spouse in a 2-room or 3-room, maybe no longer working or low wages, but somehow is cash rich, and children all earning big bucks + live in condo/private property, the assistance or subsidy confirm still gao gao coz household income of the dialysis patient is low ?

Yes correct.

 

[Shion]

Yes correct.

And it doesnt matter whether the patient CPF rich or poor, right ?

I tweak the scenario abit for the 2nd one. Instead of 2-/3-room, patient live in a 5-room, cash rich, children all rich but dont live under same address. I assume assistance or subsidy will be lower due to bigger flat size but still higher if compared to a patient who lives with working adults in the same address and household income is high ?

Yes CPF not counted. Even if the person getting 3k monthly payout from his or her CPF. If the housing annual value is >21,000 will have lesser or zero subsidy. If <21,000, maximum subsidy.

Thank you

This thread is like poor people asking other poor people whether rich people can get more benefits than poor people. Then all the examples given are the benefits that poor people get. Rich people don’t need to gian the free hundred bucks. They want to get benefits from government is 1 shot get 30k one. Go look up things like OTR grant.

Singapore’s income gap is among the highest, so take the propaganda with a grain of salt.

Finding homeless people in Singapore isn’t easy because they tend to stay in hidden spots like parks, HDB void decks, or stairwells to rest. A 2022 nationwide check by the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) found around 530 people sleeping on the streets, but the actual number is likely much higher.

 

[rarenick]

The rich are probably the ones earning all our CDC vouchers?

If can’t find means no proof got homeless people
