Withdraw CPF Medisave Savings above MMS by Dec 15 2015

For those above 55 years old, here is the last chance for you to withdraw your Medisave Account Savings above the current MMS (ie $43,500). You must submit your applications to the Board by Dec 15 2015. However, because CPF has a special method of refunding balances in MA/SA/OA, it will be better for you to first submit a request (email) to CPF to calculate the amount you need to withdraw such that your MA balance will be reduced to $43,500. Then send a formal request online or by post using the withdrawal form to request the withdrawal. CPF actually calculates interest on MA/SA/OA up to month of withdrawal, these will be refunded first, followed by other amounts. The formula is not disclosed at the website yet, oops, at least I cannot find, hahaha Oops, there is no formal announcement by CPF Board nor is above written on the website. However, some information are hidden in the withdrawal form, take a look at the form at the website.

Medishield Life vs Integrated Shield Plans

With the implementation of Medishield Life next month, would I still need my NTUC Enhanced Incomeshield Plan? Two weeks ago, I had a fall and was sent to SGH A&E by ambulance. Doctors identified a dislocation of my hand at the left shoulder and managed to fix it back for me. Also had a big “bualuku” on my forehead, haha, it is still there now, but subsided somewhat with blueblack mark still there. Last week, doctor found a small fracture at my arm joint location. I stayed at the observation ward for 1 night, was discharged next day noon, exactly 24 hours from admission. SGH submitted hospitalisation claim to NTUC, now waiting for NTUC to approve the claim. I guess I would be able to claim under NTUC Enhanced Incomeshield Plan (NEIP) for staying at least 24 hours in hospital. Should the claim fail, I would have to pay using my CPF Medisave account. If I can claim under NEIP, how would I benefit: I'm covered by a rider which gives me 100% coverage, ie...

CPF Life Plans: Basic or Standard?

Image
Assumptions: A lower monthly payout is not a major concern for you. You have max Full Retirement Sum (FRS) in your Retirement Account (RA). You still have more than 60k in OA/SA/MA. With or without dependents. When the CPF Life scheme was first started and my brother was required to make a choice, I advised him to opt for higher monthly payout as his income was/is low. He only has one child and I told him he need not worry about bequest to him as he should know how to take care of himself. At that time, I did not study the scheme in detail, only comparing monthly payouts and bequest amounts. Now I study the plans in detail. Under The Standard Plan: 1.  If I do not have dependents and should I die early after joining CPF Life, I do not mind donating my money under the Standard Plan to fellow Singaporeans in the CPF Life Pool since my beneficiaries will get less or nothing in bequest monies. 2.  However, should I not die early but inst...

Elliott Wave Theorist August 2015 PDF (Free)

Dear reader, With the market action during the last few weeks, many investors have been operating in panic mode; subscribers to Robert Prechter's Elliott Wave Theorist haven't. Why? Because they were prepared . Elliott Wave International prepared them for the 2007-2009 crisis, and they did it again. In fact, in the calm of Aug. 18, Bob wrote a sharp critique of the U.S. stock market in his newest Elliott Wave Theorist , in which he said to expect market "pandemonium." (His commentary was published the following day.) "as shown in this issue, time and price factors call for an immediate end to this dream state. When the alarm goes off and the dreamers awake, it will be pandemonium in the stock market . As the next few chart...
