# CPF savings a member may withdraw from age 55 when the FRS is not met

Members unable to set aside the FRS may still withdraw up to S$5,000 from age 55. If a member has set aside the FRS, savings above it remain in OA and are withdrawable. This is not a universal cash payout of S$5,000 to every member.
