$300 CDC Vouchers for Every Singapore Household – Government Confirms Distribution

In 2025, the Singapore government has confirmed that every Singapore household will receive $300 in CDC vouchers as part of ongoing efforts to provide household support amid rising living costs. This initiative, which aims to help Singaporeans cope with the ongoing inflationary pressures, is a direct response to the need for inflation aid and to stimulate the local economy by supporting small businesses.

This scheme follows the success of earlier CDC voucher distributions during the pandemic and is an important continuation of the government’s commitment to economic resilience and social well-being for all households in Singapore.

$300 CDC Vouchers for Every Singapore Household

What Are CDC Vouchers?

The CDC Vouchers program is designed to provide direct financial assistance to Singaporean households. Issued by the Community Development Councils, these vouchers are available for use at local hawkers and merchants, primarily aimed at helping citizens during times of economic hardship, such as the current inflation crisis.

The vouchers can be redeemed digitally via the official CDC Vouchers mobile app or website. For households without digital access, there will be assistance available at community centres.

This initiative not only serves as inflation aid but also promotes Singapore household support by redirecting funds into the local economy, ensuring that families receive immediate relief while contributing to the vibrancy of their local communities.

Key Objectives of the Scheme

Supporting Singaporeans Amid Rising Costs

With inflation affecting the daily expenses of many families, the Singapore government has introduced this $300 voucher scheme as part of its ongoing household support initiatives. The scheme aims to help Singaporeans manage the increased cost of living while also stimulating local commerce.

Strengthening the Local Economy

The CDC vouchers can only be used at participating local merchants and hawkers, which encourages citizens to spend within their own communities. By supporting local businesses, the government ensures that the economy remains resilient, with an emphasis on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that are critical to Singapore’s economic fabric.

Encouraging Digital Transactions

Part of the government’s long-term vision is to promote digital adoption, especially among older citizens or those less familiar with technology. This initiative aids in making digital transactions more accessible, thus contributing to the broader goal of digital inclusion in Singapore.

How the Vouchers Will Be Distributed

All Singaporean households will automatically be eligible for the CDC vouchers. Households will receive an SMS notification when the vouchers are available for redemption.

Claiming Process:

• Visit the official CDC Vouchers website or use the mobile app

• Log in with Singpass

• Select your household and redeem the vouchers

• Show or send the digital voucher QR code to participating merchants

Physical claiming stations at Community Centres will also be available for those who do not use smartphones or need assistance.

Where Can the Vouchers Be Used?

CDC vouchers can only be used at participating local merchants and hawkers, particularly those located within heartland communities. This ensures that the household support is directed towards local businesses that are essential for the community’s well-being.

The government encourages residents to look for the “CDC Vouchers Accepted Here” decal at participating businesses. Eligible locations include:

• Hawker centres

• Wet markets

• Small retail shops

• Family-run businesses

Large retail chains and supermarkets are excluded from the list of eligible merchants to ensure that the support stays within the community.

Past Success of the CDC Voucher Scheme

The success of the CDC voucher program in previous years has proven its effectiveness in providing inflation aid and strengthening Singapore household support. Over 1.2 million households benefited from previous voucher schemes, with millions of dollars being redeemed.

The initiative has been shown to reduce financial strain for families, especially during periods of economic uncertainty, while simultaneously supporting local businesses by increasing foot traffic and spending.

While the official start date for claiming the 2025 vouchers has not been announced, households can begin preparing by:

• Ensuring Singpass accounts are active

• Downloading the CDC Vouchers app (if not already done)
