Income and Annual Value are alternative criteria

All Singapore Citizens are eligible for CHAS. Households with income are tiered by monthly income per person; households without income use the home's Annual Value. Income per person divides gross household monthly income by family members living together. Gross income includes employment and trade income, overtime, allowances, cash awards, commissions and bonuses. CHAS, eligibility (opens in a new tab).
