The ministry said these rebates will help to offset utilities expenses and S&CC for lower- and middle-income HDB households
The regular S&CC and U-Save rebates are part of the permanent GST Voucher (GSTV) scheme, while an additional U-Save rebate was announced as part of the second tranche of support — announced on July 29 — in response to the Middle East situation.
The rebates in October is the third disbursement for the 2026 financial year, after April and July, with the subsequent disbursement in January 2027.
Eligible households will receive up to $190 in U-Save rebates and up to one month of S&CC rebates in October, depending on their flat type, the ministry added.
In total, eligible Singaporean HDB households will receive up to $760 of U-Save rebates, and up to three-and-a-half-months of S&CC rebates in the 2026 financial year.
No action is required of eligible households as the U-Save rebate will be credited directly into the households' utilities accounts with SP services, while the S&CC rebate will be automatically credited into households' S&CC accounts with 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," said the ministry.
