The Government has rolled out several initiatives in a bid to keep its citizens afloat during this economic crisis.
We’ve seen four different budgets rolled out in a span of a few months (Unity Budget 2020, Resilience Budget 2020, Solidarity Budget 2020, Fortitude Budget 2020), and also an added support of $8 billion to continue supporting workers and jobs.
During the speech made by DPM Heng, he also mentioned that more workers will be eligible for the Workfare Special Payment, which was previously only available for those on the Workfare Income Supplement (WIS) Scheme.
With my friend recently getting a letter notifying her of this payout, I decided to take a look at what this scheme was about, and how it could help us Singaporeans.
