Imagine going to your favorite hawker center for a plate of chicken rice or shopping for vegetables at the supermarket while saving hundreds of dollars without any effort. This is what the CDC Vouchers Scheme 2025 offers. It is a generous program that puts real money back into the pockets of Singaporeans during times of rising living costs. Every household receives a substantial amount to help cover both essential needs and occasional treats.
A Generous Boost for Singaporean Households
All Singaporean households are entitled to receive S$800 worth of CDC Vouchers in 2025 under the enhanced Assurance Package announced in Budget 2025. This initiative is designed to help families cope with rising daily expenses while also supporting local hawkers, heartland retailers, and neighbourhood supermarkets. By directing spending toward local businesses, the scheme strengthens community ties and keeps money circulating within Singapore’s heartlands.
The total voucher amount is distributed across two tranches to ensure support throughout the year. The first tranche was released in January 2025, with the remaining portion scheduled for distribution by mid-2025, allowing households to benefit over a longer period.
| Tranche | Amount | Release Date | Split Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| January 2025 | $300 | From 3 January 2025 | $150 for hawkers/heartland merchants$150 for supermarkets |
Easy and Secure Voucher Claim Process
Claiming CDC Vouchers is straightforward, secure, and completely free. Only one Singpass account is required per household, and any eligible member can claim the vouchers on behalf of everyone living at the same address.
To claim, visit the official portal at go.gov.sg/cdcv, log in using Singpass, select the available tranche, and receive a personalised SMS link containing your digital vouchers. There is no need to download any app or complete complex steps—the entire process can be completed within minutes on a mobile phone.
Support Available for Those Without Singpass
Households without Singpass access or those needing assistance can visit their nearest Community Club. Bring along the official notification letter and completed authorisation form. Friendly staff will guide residents through the claiming process, ensuring that everyone can access the support without difficulty.
Where and How to Use CDC Vouchers
CDC Vouchers are meant to be spent at participating local businesses. Look out for CDC Vouchers decals displayed at shopfronts to identify participating merchants.
Thousands of hawker stalls, heartland shops, and major supermarket chains accept these vouchers. They can be used for meals, groceries, daily essentials, and other household needs. At checkout, simply present the QR code from your voucher link. The merchant will scan it, and the amount will be deducted instantly. Partial payments are allowed, so vouchers can be used flexibly.
Important Expiry Date to Remember
All CDC Vouchers issued in January and mid-2025 must be used by 31 December 2025. Any unused balance will expire and cannot be carried forward. Households are strongly encouraged to check their voucher balance regularly and plan purchases in advance.
Additional SG60 Voucher Support
Singaporeans aged between 21 and 59 are also eligible to claim S$600 in SG60 vouchers, subject to eligibility criteria. Households are receiving reminders to redeem their vouchers promptly, especially as the deadline approaches.
The CDC Voucher scheme eases cost-of-living pressures while boosting local businesses and neighbourhood economies. Make sure to fully utilise your vouchers before they expire—enjoy everyday savings while supporting Singapore’s vibrant heartlands.
