THE Self-Employed Person Income Relief Scheme is expected to cost S$2 billion in total with the disbursement of the third and final tranche in October, far more than the S$1.2 billion set aside in the Resilience Budget in March, Manpower Minister Josephine Teo said in Parliament on Friday.
Over S$1.1 billion has already been disbursed in the first two tranches, she said in response to Member of Parliament Cheng Li Hui.
