The valuation is not easy, but honestly the death benefit table XIRR is not pretty. CPF Life still gives better returns.
You must look at the terms of the particular policy. But from what I have seen, usually the death benefit is about 101% to 110% of the single premium put in. That’s not much. And once the payout starts, this death benefit reduces correspondingly. And once u claim the death benefit, the policy ceases. No more payments. Sooo, usually the insurance coverage is NOT much of a benefit!
Hi all. Does anyone know whats the benefits given to a low income elderly (presumably just WIS) vs zero income benefits given to a retireee?
The person is currently working and He has $500 cpf monthly. he is under WIS

can check this out

Besides Income, Annual Value of Property would likely matter.
So zero income retirees who has very valuable properties would likely not qualify for anything

Retirees no different from any person regardless of age who stop working, no employment income but extremely rich in other way.
not really fair to be able to get financial support right
