The CDC Voucher scheme is run by the community development councils in Singapore, designed to support households with everyday expenses, especially groceries, dining, and other essential purchases.

• Under 2025’s enhanced support measures, every Singaporean household is eligible to receive CDC Vouchers.
• For 2025, total support per household is S$800: comprising S$500 in May 2025 and S$300 in January 2026.
• Earlier in the year (January 2025), a tranche of S$300 was issued under the 2025 scheme. 

How to Claim CDC Vouchers?

Claiming the CDC Vouchers is designed to be simple and digital-friendly:

• Visit the official portal: Go to the official voucher website (via government domain).
• Login using Singpass: Only one household member needs to log in to claim for the entire household.
• Receive a unique voucher link via SMS from “gov.sg”; this link begins with the correct government prefix.
• Share or use: The link can be shared with other members of your household; vouchers can be redeemed digitally (or printed where allowed) when you shop.
• Use by expiry date: For the 2025 (May) tranche, vouchers are valid until 31 December 2025.

Where and How You Can Use CDC Vouchers?

CDC Vouchers are accepted widely across participating merchants:

• Heartland merchants / hawkers: Local hawker centres, smaller shops, and neighbourhood merchants.
• Supermarkets: Major supermarket chains that are part of the voucher scheme network.

What Is the GST Voucher (GSTV) 2025 and How It Fits In

While CDC Vouchers help with everyday spending, the GST Voucher (GSTV) scheme provides direct financial assistance particularly aimed at helping lower- to middle-income individuals cope with the effects of the GST rate increase and cost of living.

• In August 2025, eligible adult Singaporeans are set to receive up to S$850 in GSTV Cash.
• Eligibility generally depends on criteria such as assessable income (for YA2024), property annual value, and property ownership status (e.g. owning no more than one property) to ensure support is targeted fairly.
• For seniors (older residents), there may also be additional support under GSTV MediSave top-ups (subject to eligibility), helping with long-term savings. 

Why Do These Measures Matter?

For Households

• Extra purchasing power: The S$800 in CDC Vouchers helps households stretch their food, grocery, and daily essentials budgets relieving pressure from inflation and rising costs.
• Flexibility: Vouchers can be used across many supermarkets, hawkers, and neighbourhood shops, giving households the freedom to choose where to shop.
• Simplicity: A single digital claim via Singpass covers the entire household; no complicated paperwork.

For Seniors and Vulnerable Individuals

• GSTV cash or MediSave top-ups provide direct support especially important for seniors, low-income earners, and those with limited mobility.
• Combined with other support measures (utilities rebates, subsidies), this can significantly ease financial burdens.

For Small Businesses, Hawkers, and Local Merchants

• Encouraging voucher usage at heartland shops and hawker centres drives footfall and sales offering a boost to neighbourhood businesses.
• Promoting digital payments (QR, e-payment systems) part of the scheme’s push helps modernize small businesses and improves convenience for both merchants and customers.
