Whatever RA balance and unused CPF LIFE premium balance would be distributed to your nominees or to your estate distributed by PTO if you don't have nomination.

Before 65, CPF LIFE not started, the amount in RA is distributed.

At 65 (or can postpone up to 70), either 100% of RA or 10~20% of RA is the CPF LIFE premium for Standard/Escalating Plan or Basic Plan respectively.

After CPF LIFE started, you will receive monthly payouts (initially from your RA savings for Basic Plan, until depleted then) from you CPF LIFE premium. CPF LIFE premium balance is the CPF LIFE premium deducted from RA at 65 minus the total monthly payouts you receive from CPF LIFE.

For example, lets say your RA is $300k at 65, you choose Standard Plan, so CPF LIFE premium is $300k. Let say your monthly payout is $2k.

After 36 months (3 years), your CPF LIFE premium balance = $300k - 36 x $2k = $228k.
