For participants with a salary above $6,000.00, the dividend rate will be based on what TAP has declared.

Benefit 2:


Home Ownership Financial Assistance

Financial Assistance under this Scheme is available exclusively for participants whose average monthly income over the last 24 months preceding the application is not more than $2,000, or whose household income does not exceed $4,000 per month.

Note:

For individual participants without a family, the financial assistance will be half of that provided to participants with a family. However, if the participant marries and their household income falls below $4,000.00, they may be eligible for a top-up, provided they still meet the other eligibility criteria.
