What Happens to Unclaimed CDC Vouchers in Singapore?
If CDC vouchers are not claimed or used by the deadline, they expire permanently. Under the voucher expiry policy, there is no grace period or refund option once the voucher lapses. These unclaimed CDC vouchers Singapore citizens miss out on represent lost financial benefits. As of Q2 2025, millions in CDC support remain unclaimed, often due to lack of awareness or simple procrastination. To prevent this, the CDC has stepped up outreach via SMS alerts and community notices.
How to Check and Redeem Your CDC Vouchers
You can easily check your CDC voucher status via the go.gov.sg/cdcv portal using your Singpass. This portal shows the remaining balance, expiry date, and transaction history. Redemption is simple: merchants display a CDC Vouchers decal, and scanning a QR code lets you complete payment in seconds. Pro tip: spread your spending across various merchants to support more local businesses while utilizing your full voucher balance.
Why You Shouldn’t Delay Redemption
CDC vouchers aren’t just a personal benefit—they’re also a tool for supporting Singapore’s local economy. Each unredeemed voucher is a missed opportunity for both residents and neighborhood businesses. With inflation still affecting household budgets in 2025, every dollar matters. Don’t wait until December. Use the vouchers now to ease your expenses on daily necessities and dining.
