Is payout eligibility age linked to retirement or re-employment ages?

The CPF payout eligibility age is not linked to either the retirement or re-employment age. 

Today, you can start your CPF payouts at any time from age 65. There is no link to the current retirement age of 63* or the re-employment age of 68. Even if the retirement age and the re-employment age are raised, the CPF payout eligibility age would remain unchanged. 

* The current retirement age and re-employment age of 63 and 68 will be raised to 64 and 69 respectively from 1 July 2026.
