In a continued effort to support households amid rising living costs, the Singapore government has rolled out another round of Community Development Council (CDC) Vouchers in 2025. This year, eligible households can receive up to $1,920 worth of vouchers, which can be used at heartland shops, hawkers, and major supermarkets. If you haven’t claimed yours yet, time is running out.
What Are CDC Vouchers?
CDC Vouchers are digital credits given to all Singaporean households to help offset daily expenses and to encourage spending within local communities. These vouchers not only provide relief to families but also support small businesses and hawkers, forming a crucial link in the economy’s recovery and resilience.
The 2025 scheme is being disbursed in multiple batches throughout the year, with the total amount reaching as much as $1,920 per household one of the largest CDC voucher distributions to date.
How to Claim Them
Claiming your CDC vouchers is simple and only takes a few minutes. Visit the official CDC Vouchers site at go.gov.sg/cdcv, log in with your Singpass, and follow the on-screen instructions. Once claimed, the vouchers will be sent in the form of a QR code, which you can save to your phone or share with other household members.
Where You Can Use Them
The vouchers are accepted at a wide range of places neighborhood hawker stalls, coffee shops, heartland retailers, and even supermarkets like NTUC FairPrice, Sheng Siong, Giant, and Prime. Just look for the CDC Vouchers Accepted Here sticker at participating locations, or check the CDC website for the full list.
Don’t Miss the Deadline
Each voucher batch comes with an expiry date, often around 12 months from issue. However, don’t assume you’ll remember many Singaporeans forget or miss the chance to use their full amount. Once expired, the vouchers cannot be refunded or extended, so the best approach is to use them gradually as part of your everyday spending.
Why You Should Act Now
If your household qualifies and you’ve yet to claim your CDC vouchers, this is essentially free money waiting to be used. Whether for groceries, meals, or daily necessities, every dollar helps especially in uncertain times.
