The enhanced NTUC Care Fund (COVID-19) is a one-off cash relief of up to $300 given to eligible NTUC union members to help tide through this challenging period due to COVID-19. As a gesture of continued care and support for our workers, the enhanced NTUC Care Fund (COVID-19) has an expanded eligibility criteria so that more union members can apply online and benefit from this programme.

Successful applicants who had previously received NTUC Care Fund (COVID-19) and still hold valid union membership will be eligible to receive another round of cash relief. They will be informed via SMS and the amount will be deposited to the registered bank account by early December. Union members must not be in fees arrears in order to be eligible for the assistance.

Enhanced NTUC Care Fund (COVID-19) is only open to NTUC Union members. NTUC encourages affected workers to join us as an NTUC union member, if you are not already one, as there are other existing support programmes that you could tap on, be it in terms of financial assistance or training subsidies.
