Data on Platform Workers CPF Transition Support Scheme Uptake, Disbursement and Rejection

49 Mr Low Wu Yang Andre asked the Minister for Manpower (a) as of January 2026, how many platform workers have qualified for the Platform Workers CPF Transition Support (PCTS) scheme; (b) what is the total value of PCTS offsets disbursed to date; and (c) what percentage of applications were rejected and the primary reasons for these rejections.

Dr Tan See Leng: In 2025, close to 24,000 lower-income platform workers qualified for the Platform Workers CPF Transition Support (PCTS) scheme, and over $4 million was disbursed in total. Data for January 2026 is not yet available.

The Central Provident Fund Board automatically assesses platform workers' eligibility for PCTS every month and no application is required from platform workers.
