STR 2027 applications: How to apply online and who must update

STR 2027 applications opened online on 15 October and stay open all year, the official portal says. New applicants can start on the Sumbangan Tunai Rahmah site with MyDigital ID.

People who have not updated for three years in a row must update this time. Others may need to if their situation has changed.

Here are the dates, the update rules and what the official pages have not yet confirmed.

STR 2027 applications: dates and where to apply

The official portal says STR 2027 applications are open all year from 15 October 2026. It gives no closing date.

Applicants can choose “Teruskan Permohonan Baharu” on the portal and log in with MyDigital ID. Existing users can log in to their current account, Newswav reported.

The portal links four forms. BK-01 and BK-02 cover applying and updating, BK-04 covers supporting documents and BK-05 covers cancelling. It also links guides for new applications, updates and MyDigital ID.

Newswav and Majalah Pa&Ma reported that HASiL has taken manual applications since 1 October. They name HASiL offices, HASiL Satelit and Urban Transformation Centres (UTC). The portal does not mention that date.

You need supporting documents only if asked, both reports said. The portal does not list them.

For help, call 1800-88-2747 or the Finance Ministry on 03-8882 4565 or 4566. Lines are open from 9am to 5pm. The email is [email protected].

Who must update STR 2027 details

The portal says applicants who have not updated for three years in a row must update.

Newswav gave the years as STR 2024, 2025 and 2026. The portal does not state them for 2027.

Newswav said you do not need to update if nothing has changed and your record is valid. You should update if your income, marital status or bank account has changed.

You also need to apply if no record exists for you, it said. Last year, elderly applicants and people in interior areas did not have to follow the three-year rule.

The 2027 pages do not say if that exemption still applies. Ask the hotline if you fall into either group.

Majalah Pa&Ma lists the groups covered. They include low-income households, a household income band of RM2,501 to RM5,000, elderly people without a partner and singles. It gives no criteria.

What is still unconfirmed about STR 2027 payments

The official pages give no cash amounts yet. Newswav said the figures online are not final. It urged readers to wait for the official announcement.

Majalah Pa&Ma reported on the Budget 2027 speech. It said the combined STR and SARA allocation rose to RM16 billion from RM15 billion. It said recipients can get SARA credit of up to RM150 a month.

It added that RM150 is a maximum, so not every recipient gets the same. CJ.MY could not confirm these figures on an official page.

Payment dates for 2027 have not been published either. Last year, the first phase began on 20 January and the second on 10 March, the portal’s 2026 notice shows.

No 2027 equivalent is up yet. Treat any payment date online as unconfirmed until the portal says otherwise.

The reports also give no 2027 dates for status checks or appeals.
