Why This Voucher Is Being Rolled Out Now
With inflation still impacting grocery prices, daily necessities, and food, the government continues to support Singaporean households through regular disbursements of CDC Vouchers. The scheme is also intended to boost spending in heartland shops and hawker centres, helping small businesses recover and thrive.
The 2025 distribution reflects a continuation of the CDC Voucher Scheme that was launched in 2020, progressively enhanced through the years to meet rising needs.
Eligibility Criteria
Every Singaporean household qualifies for the $300 worth of CDC Vouchers in 2025 if:
- There is at least one Singapore citizen in the household
- The household is registered at a valid Singapore residential address
- The household has not already claimed the 2025 vouchers
There is no income requirement, making it universal for all citizens, regardless of household earnings.
Breakdown of CDC Vouchers
Each household receives:
- $150 in CDC Vouchers (Heartland): Usable at over 20,000 participating hawker stalls, wet market vendors, and heartland shops islandwide
- $150 in CDC Vouchers (Supermarkets): Accepted at major supermarket chains including NTUC FairPrice, Sheng Siong, Prime, Giant, and Ang Mo Supermarket
All merchants that accept the vouchers will have visible CDC signage or can be located via the official CDC merchant finder tool.
Disbursement Timeline
The vouchers for 2025 are expected to be made available from January 3, 2025:
- Vouchers must be claimed digitally via Singpass from the official website
- Once claimed, the vouchers are immediately available through SMS or the CDC Voucher app
- Households that need help with digital access can approach Community Centres (CCs) for printed QR versions
The vouchers are valid until 31 December 2025, and unused balances will expire after that date.
Automatic Disbursement
While the vouchers are not automatically delivered, the claiming process is fast and easy. No application is needed—just log in to the official site with Singpass:
- Visit go.gov.sg/cdcv
- Log in using Singpass credentials

If you’re unable to claim digitally, CCs across Singapore provide in-person assistance, and even help seniors retrieve printed vouchers on request.
Tips on Using the Vouchers Wisely
To make the most out of your CDC Vouchers:
- Use the heartland vouchers for daily essentials like fruits, vegetables, cooked food, and toiletries
- Use the supermarket vouchers for bulk groceries or household goods
- Split the voucher usage throughout the year to spread out cost savings
- Check the merchant map before heading out to ensure your preferred shop accepts vouchers
It’s also recommended to consolidate family shopping to maximize discounts and voucher impact.
A Grassroots Scheme With Big National Impact
The CDC Voucher Scheme is more than just a household subsidy—it’s a unique initiative that strengthens community ties, promotes inclusive economic support, and encourages Singaporeans to shop locally.
As part of the Assurance Package, these vouchers contribute to the government’s goal of helping families navigate inflation and supporting heartland economies that serve as the backbone of many communities.
By 2025, the CDC Vouchers are projected to benefit over 1.2 million households, injecting hundreds of millions into local spending.
