Starting from 3 January 2025, Singaporean households can claim S$300 in CDC Vouchers as part of the CDC Vouchers Scheme 2025 (January). This initiative is part of the government’s $1.9 billion enhancement to the Assurance Package announced during Budget 2024, aimed at easing the financial burden of daily expenses.
The CDC Vouchers are designed to support households by offering flexibility in how the money is spent, promoting local businesses, and providing easy access through a digital platform. For those less familiar with digital processes, assistance is available to ensure everyone can participate.
What Is the CDC Vouchers Scheme 2025 (January)?
The CDC Vouchers Scheme 2025 is a government program introduced to assist Singaporean households with their daily living costs. Announced during Budget 2024 as part of the Assurance Package, this initiative provides digital vouchers valued at S$300 for each eligible household. The vouchers are valid through the end of 2025, offering residents meaningful financial support.
The scheme divides the $300 into two categories: $150 for spending at heartland merchants and hawkers, and $150 for use at supermarkets. This dual allocation encourages both local shopping and essential purchases, making it a flexible and effective support tool for the community.

This division ensures that families have the flexibility to shop for both everyday needs and larger household items.
Who Benefits from the CDC Vouchers Scheme?
Merchants who participate in the CDC Vouchers Scheme enjoy a variety of benefits. They can expect next-day payouts for voucher redemptions, making the process quick and efficient. Merchants will also retain the full value of their sales, as there are no additional fees or commissions.
Furthermore, merchants can easily manage transactions through the RedeemSG Merchant app, a reliable tool designed to streamline voucher redemptions and record-keeping. CDC ambassadors are available to assist with onboarding and provide support throughout the process.
