Should one switch from the CPF Retirement Sum Scheme (RSS) to to CPF CPF Lifelong Income For The Elderly?

Aunt just turned 65, is no longer working and wishes to start her CPF Payout. She is currently on the old RSS scheme and would get about $900/month for 25 years. CPF Staff informed her that she is eligible to switch to CPF Life where she will get about $700/month for lifetime. Do you think she should switch?

Tough questions, which no one can answer for you.

But generally, if you are worried about outliving, CPF Life is better because there is no risk of outliving your monies after age 91.

RSS has the risk of you outliving your savings by age 91.

if your focus is on gains, then it's debatable and no one has a good answer. the best is to look at Kyith from investmentmoat article on IRR for CPF LIFE.

My MIL 79 years old this year, her CPF Retirement account almost empty. If I top up her account using cash as allowance, which scheme is better? The Retirement Sum Scheme or CPF life scheme?

Does the CPF Matched Retirement Savings Scheme only apply to CPF Life? Or is it also applicable to the Retirement Sum Scheme?

Hi, I would like to seek your kind advice on the use cases of CPF Life vs Retirement Sum Scheme. If possible, could anyone do a simple rundown of numbers with the Full Retirement Sum?

My parents' CPF do not meet the Basic Retirement Sum. If I were to start topping up their RA now making use of the Matched Retirement Savings Scheme, how will the monthly payout be decided?
