SINGAPORE – Most people would think of long-term disability insurance as something for the frail elderly. But more than half of those getting payouts from CareShield Life, the national long-term disability insurance, are under 40 years old.
It encourages older cohorts born before 1980 to sign up for the plan, which provides better protection in the event of severe disability.became compulsory for all Singaporeans and permanent residents born in or after 1980. On top of that, there is a 20 per cent to 30 per cent means-tested subsidy to help pay the premiums. The annual premiums are paid only up to the age of 67 or over 10 years – whichever is longer – although people are protected for the rest of their lives.
In 2022, CareShield Life paid $4 million to recipients, bringing the total amount disbursed since its launch to $6.5 million. To qualify for payouts under any of those schemes, a person has to be unable to perform at least three out of six activities of daily living – feeding, washing, going to the toilet, moving or walking around, dressing, and transferring from a bed to chair.
