CPF Nomination for Medisave

Question: A friend just emailed me that a separate nomination is required for the Medisave account in CPF. This is in addition to the nomination in our Ordinary Account. Would you be able to confirm this? I could not find any info in CPF.

Answer: This shows the items that are covered and not covered by CPF nomination.

CPF Nomination FAQ

The items that are covered includes Medisave.

Your friend has confused the Medisave part with the enhanced nomination scheme, which can be found in section B2 of this form:

CPF Nomination Form

When you do the enhanced nomination, your nominees will receive your CPF monies into their CPF account instead of in cash. Why would anyone want to do that?

Section B1 (cash nomination) should be the preferred option for most people.
