The Ministry of Education (MOE) takes false SkillsFuture Credit claims seriously and will not hesitate to take legal action against abusers of the system.
Recently, roughly 4,400 people were found to have claimed about $2.2 million without attending the specified courses.
The SkillsFuture Credit scheme gives $500 in credits to Singaporeans aged 25 and older to pay for courses. Either individuals or training providers can make the claim for the training fees from SkillsFuture Singapore.
To prevent further abuse, SkillsFuture Singapore is conducting more checks and audits such as examining attendance lists, course enrolment records or proof of payment.
