Let’s say I just turned 65 and started drawing from CPF Life. If something happens to me next month and i leave this world, what happens to all the funds that I enrolled into CPF Life?

In this hypothetical scenario, I may have drawn only one month from CPF Life. What happens to the remaining amount (assuming I had put min sum) that I put into the scheme?

Assuming that you did not make a CPF nomination, the unused CPF LIFE balance will be distributed to your beneficiaries according to the Intestate Succession Act.

If you have made a CPF nomination, then the unused CPF LIFE balance will be distributed to your nominees.

This goes in the same way for any balance in your CPF Account.
