Extending Workfare Income Supplement to Singaporeans and Permanent Residents Who Work as Food Delivery Riders

Mr Gan Thiam Poh asked the Minister for Manpower whether the Ministry will consider extending Workfare Income Supplement to Singaporean and Permanent Resident workers who are engaged in food delivery.

Dr Tan See Leng: The Workfare Income Supplement scheme tops up the incomes of Singaporeans who earn lower wages, to encourage them to work regularly and build up their CPF savings. It covers both Singaporean employees and self-employed persons, regardless of occupation.
