After you have successfully registered for PayNow (NRIC), you can expect to receive the payment within a day after PayNow registration (including weekends). The last day for PayNow e-payment will be on 1 Feb 2021.
If you still have not received the award via PayNow, MOE will generate cheques and send it to your institutions for distribution. If you are no longer studying in Primary/Secondary/Specialised School/Junior College/Millenia Institute, MOE will send the cheque to your home address. The cheques have already been dispatched to schools (via courier service) and homes (via SingPost).
