1. As announced at Budget 2024, eligible past and present national servicemen will receive $200 in LifeSG credits to recognise their contributions to Singapore’s defence and security (see
Annex for eligibility criteria).
2. The LifeSG credits will be progressively disbursed to national servicemen by the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) and Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) in November 2024, and all eligible national servicemen will automatically receive the credits via the LifeSG mobile app by 30 November 2024. They are not required to click on any links or provide personal details on any platform. Once the credits have been disbursed, an SMS will be sent from the gov.sg Sender ID to the national serviceman’s registered mobile number, and a notification letter will be sent to their registered address.
3. The LifeSG credits are valid for one year from the date of disbursement. National servicemen may access the credits and check their validity period through the LifeSG mobile app, which can be downloaded from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store at https://go.life.gov.sg/5yCp. The credits can be used at any online or physical merchants accepting payments via PayNow UEN QR or NETS QR. For a step-by-step guide on how to use the credits, please refer to https://www.wallet.gov.sg/how-to-use.
