S'pore households can claim S$300 CDC vouchers from Jan. 3, 2025

Singaporean households can claim their S$300 Community Development Council (CDC) vouchers now.

The vouchers can be claimed online from Jan. 3 and will expire on Dec. 31.

For each set of vouchers, S$150 can be used at participating heartland merchants and hawkers, while the other S$150 can be used at participating supermarkets.

How to claim?

To claim your vouchers, you will need to go to go.gov.sg/cdcv and log in via Singpass.

You'll see the two types of vouchers: The first for participating hawkers and heartland merchants, and the second for supermarkets.

What's this about?

Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Lawrence Wong announced during Budget 2024 that Singaporeans would get an additional S$600 worth of CDC vouchers.

These will be disbursed in two tranches: The first S$300 in June 2024, and the second S$300 in January 2025.

This is on top of S$500 worth of CDC vouchers disbursed in January 2024.

First launched in 2021, the CDC Voucher Scheme has been a regular fixture of the Budget in the last four years.

In the first year, the vouchers were given to Singaporean households to defray the higher cost of living brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic. Subsequently, the vouchers were given out as part of various support packages to help with daily expenses amid high inflation and an increase in the Goods & Services Tax (GST).

In addition to that, the vouchers are meant to be spent at hawkers centres, heartland shops, and supermarkets so as to provide support to local businesses.
