Singapore is rolling out another round of CDC Vouchers this June 2025, bringing much-needed financial relief to households amidst rising living expenses. This initiative, introduced under the Community Development Council (CDC) Voucher Scheme, is designed to help citizens manage daily costs while supporting local businesses.
This time, each eligible household will receive SGD $300 worth of vouchers, which can be used at participating heartland shops, hawker stalls, and supermarkets. With inflation continuing to pressure household budgets, these vouchers come as a welcome form of targeted support to ease the cost-of-living burden and encourage spending within the community.
What Are CDC Vouchers?
The CDC Voucher Scheme was launched in December 2020 to support both Singaporean households and heartland businesses affected by the pandemic. Managed by Singapore’s five Community Development Councils, the vouchers aim to stimulate local economies and assist families with everyday expenses.
What began as a COVID-era support mechanism has now become a core part of the government’s Assurance Package, continuing through 2025 as part of Singapore’s commitment to inclusive recovery and shared prosperity.
How Much Will You Receive in June 2025?
As announced during Budget 2025, each household will receive SGD $300 in digital CDC vouchers in June 2025. The voucher amount is split as follows:
- $150 usable at participating heartland hawkers and retailers
- $150 usable at major supermarkets, including NTUC FairPrice, Sheng Siong, Giant, and Cold Storage
These vouchers will be valid until 31 December 2025, giving households ample time to use them across a wide variety of outlets.
Who Is Eligible for the New CDC Vouchers?
Eligibility for the CDC Voucher Scheme is straightforward. Every Singaporean household, regardless of income level, is entitled to receive the vouchers. There’s no income test or application process required.
To be eligible, the household must:
- Have at least one Singapore Citizen
- Reside in a local HDB flat or private property
- Be registered with HDB or URA as an occupied residential address
This inclusive approach ensures that every household receives some level of financial support while indirectly boosting neighborhood businesses.
How to Claim Your CDC Vouchers
Claiming the vouchers is easy and can be done digitally through your smartphone or computer:

Go to https://go.gov.sg/cdcv using a mobile device or desktop browser. - Log in using Singpass

After logging in, you’ll receive a unique QR code that can be shared with other members of the household. - Scan QR codes at participating merchants
Present the QR code at checkout in participating stores or hawker stalls. The vendor will scan the code and deduct the amount from your voucher balance.
Can You Use the Vouchers Offline?
Yes! If someone in your household is digitally less savvy (e.g., seniors), they can still use the vouchers. Community centers and libraries across Singapore offer assistance to help claim and print QR codes for offline use.
Volunteers and CDC ambassadors also organize outreach programs to guide elderly residents through the process, ensuring no one is left behind in the digital transition.
