Over 950,000 Singaporean Households to Receive U-Save and S&CC Rebates This July
Over 950,000 Singaporean households living in Housing and Development Board (HDB) flats will receive rebates in July 2025 to help cover some of the expenses associated with paying their utilities and housing estate maintenance fees. The Ministry of Finance said in a news release on Monday, June 30, that the rebates for U-Save and the Service & Conservancy Charges (S&CC) are part of the government's enhanced Assurance Package and the permanent GST Voucher scheme to help residents cope with the rising costs of living. The rebates will assist the lower- to middle-income HDB households in defraying their utility costs and S&CC. The remaining two quarterly disbursements for the fiscal year 2025 will be distributed in October and January of the following year. This is the second one. Depending on the type of HDB flat, qualifying households will receive up to S$190 (US$149) in U-Save next month. In the fiscal year 2025, eligible HDB households in Singapore will receive a total of up to S$760 in U-Save rebates. Depending on the type of HDB flat, qualified households will also receive S&CC rebates for up to one month in July. During the fiscal year 2025, eligible households will receive S&CC rebates for a maximum of three and a half months. The latest announcement came on the back of a separate MOF announcement that household electricity and gas tariffs are set to be lowered for the period of July to September. Eligible households are not required to do anything in order to receive the S&CC and U-Save rebates. While the S&CC rebates will be credited directly to their S&CC accounts with their respective town councils, the U-Save rebates will be credited directly to their utility accounts with utilities provider SP Services.

Over 950,000 HDB households to receive U-Save and S&CC rebates in July, Singapore News
Close to a million Singaporean HDB households will receive rebates on their utility and conservancy bills in July. Eligible households will receive U-Save and Service & Conservancy Charges (S&CC) rebates in July as part of the permanent GST Voucher (GSTV) scheme and the enhanced Assurance Package, said the Ministry of Finance (MOF) in a statement on Monday (June 30). Households will receive rebates according to their HDB flat type. For example, households living in a one- or two-room flat will receive $190 worth of U-Save and one month of S&CC rebates. The latest batch of rebates will be the second quarterly disbursement for Financial Year 2025, and are provided to help Singaporean households with their cost-of-living concerns, said MOF. Eligible households do not need to take any action and will have the rebates automatically credited to their utilities accounts by SP Services and their town councils respectively. MOF said that households whose members own more than one property are not eligible for the rebates. Households with no Singaporean flat owner or occupier will also be ineligible. Residents can check their eligibility for S&CC rebates by logging into My HDBPage with their Singpass. Those with specific queries can also contact their respective town councils. MOF also reminded the public that government officials will never ask them to transfer money or disclose banking details over a phone call. "If members of public are unsure if something is a scam, they should call the 24/7 ScamShield Helpline at 1799," MOF said. [[nid:719632]]
