SINGAPORE : NTUC Income is launching two Eldershield supplements which will be available from the 15th of next month.
These two supplements are Eldershield Lifetime Care and Eldershield Care.
Eldershield Lifetime Care offers policyholders the ability to increase the Eldershield benefit to as much as S$3,000 per month.
It will also extend the benefit payment for life, upon the expiry of the basic Eldershield plan.
Another significant feature is the additional benefit in the form of lump sum payouts over three years.
The other supplement, Eldershield Care, offers policyholders the ability to increase their monthly payouts from the current S$400 per month, by up to a maximum of S$3,000 per month, but for a basic term of six years.
Chief Executive of NTUC Income, Tan Suee Chieh, said the current discussion on longevity insurance highlighted the importance of making adequate and affordable provisions for needs in old age. - CNA/ch
With the revision in the ElderShield scheme by NTUC to pay lifetime, will you want to buy them? Why?
I have opt-out the previous ElderShield scheme when it went into the opt-out mode. Is this a better option?
