Is it possible to transfer CPF OA to MA?

CPF Basic Healthcare Sum was increased from $60000 to $63000 on 1 Jan 2021. Last year I have $60000 balance in MA and the interests on $60000 was transferred to OA. Why can't CPF just let the interest remain in MA since it is already known that it will increase. Any way I can reverse the transfer (OA -> MA)?

The CPF interest is technically paid on the last day of the year so the limit for 2020 applies.

As YJ mentioned, if the interest from MA flows to OA instead of SA, it means you have FRS in your SA.

There is no way to transfer from OA to MA.
You can choose to top up your MA with cash or wait for your compulsary contributions to max out the BHS limit again.

Coz it’s considered as the money earned on 2020 when the limit was still 60K. You may top up MA 3k in the first 2 weeks to get tax benefits unless your total CPF contri is <~37K for 2021.

Is it possible to transfer your CPF OA to another CPF OA?

Hi, I have already reached the FRS, and am no longer allowed to transfer my OA to my SA. What else can I do to emulate your CPF investment journey please? Should I top up my MA? Thank you.

Can I volunteer to contribute all my CPF account (OA,SA,MA) as an employee? Can I also contribute my child all CPF OA,SA,MA? I had contributed SA or MA for my child and me before.

Should I top up my CPF RA to ERS. I have enough OA balance to cover it (assuming I do a OA to RA transfer). I understand that the transfer is irreversible; and I get to enjoy higher payouts from age 65. Should I do the transfer or leave it in OA?

should i transfer my OA to SA to quickly hit the minimum so that whatever overflows from SA and MA will go into OA for my second property? I have hit my MA recently and my OA + SA is around 100k
