Hi Yam,

Yes, you may do so, at any time after 55, up to the prevailing ERS for that year.

Take note that if the RA balance is above the prevailing FRS, you won't be entitled to any tax relief.

CPF member age 55 (RA @ ERS)(MA @ BHS) Shielding SA may lead to 86.54% (Age 55-59) of contribution allocate to OA, locked-in & behind SA. Are there any useful options to manage the lock-in fund in OA?
