CPF Nomination

A CPF Nomination allows CPF members to determine who will receive their CPF savings & how much each nominee should receive. One does not need to make a CPF Nomination if the intention is to distribute the CPF savings under the Intestate Succession Act or the Inheritance Certificate (for Muslims).

​The CPF savings in the Ordinary, Special, Medisave & Retirement Accounts are covered under the CPF Nominations, as well as unused CPF LIFE premiums (if any) & discounted SingTel shares.

​​​However, take note that the following are not covered under the CPF nomination:

• Properties bought using CPF savings
• Payouts from Dependant's Protection Scheme (DPS), if any
• Investments held under the CPFIS OA
• Investments held under the CPFIS

CPF Members can choose how each of the nominee(s) is to receive the CPF monies.

• Cash Nomination: Nominee(s) will receive the CPF monies due to them in cash via cheque or GIRO
• Enhanced Nomination Scheme (ENS) Nomination: Nominee(s) will receive the CPF monies due to them in their CPF accounts
• Special Needs Savings Scheme (SNSS) Nomination: This scheme enables parents to nominate their children with special needs to receive monthly disbursements from their CPF savings.
