Freelancers eligibility criteria widened to support more
Singapore
THE government on Monday widened the eligibility criteria for a new income relief scheme to help freelancers tide through the financial fallout brought on by the Covid-19 crisis, following appeals that its original yardsticks were too narrow.
The enhanced Self-Employed Person Income Relief Scheme (SIRS) will now automatically include self-employed persons who earn a small income from employment work, announced Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat as he unveiled the third package of relief measures in two months.
