How to Claim the S$300 CDC Voucher, Eligibility

Starting on 3 January 2025, all Singaporean households will be eligible to claim S$300 in CDC Vouchers under the CDC Vouchers Scheme 2025 (January). This initiative is part of the $1.9 billion enhancement to the Assurance Package announced during Budget 2024 by the then Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister, Mr. Lawrence Wong.

These vouchers aim to provide financial assistance to households by helping them manage daily expenses more effectively. The vouchers can be claimed digitally through the government portal. The scheme is designed to support households by dividing the $300 equally into two parts, ensuring flexibility in spending while promoting support for local businesses. The digital format of the vouchers makes it easier for households to claim and use them, with additional assistance available for those who are less familiar with digital systems.

What Is the CDC Vouchers Scheme 2025 (January)?

The CDC Vouchers Scheme 2025 is a financial assistance program introduced to ease the cost of living for Singaporean households. Announced as part of the Assurance Package during Budget 2024, the scheme offers digital vouchers worth $300 to every eligible household. These vouchers can be used to offset daily expenses and are valid until the end of 2025.

The scheme simplifies access to financial relief through a digital platform, allowing households to claim the vouchers quickly and use them at a wide range of participating merchants. It ensures that every family receives meaningful support to address their daily needs effectively.

Key highlights of the scheme include:

  • The vouchers are evenly split, with $150 allocated for use at heartland merchants and hawkers and $150 reserved for supermarkets.
  • They are available for claim starting 3 January 2025 through the official portal.
  • The initiative is part of a broader effort to enhance financial resilience for all households in Singapore.

Eligibility for the CDC Vouchers Scheme

All Singaporean households qualify for the CDC Vouchers Scheme 2025, making it an inclusive initiative to support families across the nation. Each household will receive a notification letter from the relevant authorities, which will provide clear instructions on the steps to claim the vouchers. Only one member from each household is required to complete the claiming process.

Where to Spend Your $300 CDC Vouchers?

The $300 CDC Vouchers are designed to be spent on daily necessities and essential items, offering flexibility in where and how households use them. The vouchers are split into two categories to accommodate different needs:

Heartland Merchants and Hawkers

Half of the voucher amount ($150) can be spent at participating heartland merchants and hawker stalls. This includes:

  • Mini-marts and mom-and-pop shops for groceries and household essentials.
  • Hawker centers offering a variety of affordable meals.
  • Service providers such as hair salons, laundry shops, and dental clinics.

These merchants are located throughout Singapore, making it easy for residents to support local businesses while meeting their daily needs.

Supermarkets

The remaining $150 is reserved for use at participating supermarkets. This allocation is ideal for larger purchases, such as:

  • Bulk groceries and fresh produce.
  • Household goods like cleaning supplies and toiletries.
  • Other essential items commonly available at supermarkets.

Participating supermarkets include popular chains that are conveniently located and well-stocked to serve residents.

This dual allocation of the vouchers ensures that households can enjoy flexibility while maximizing their spending on essential items. Residents are encouraged to check the list of participating merchants and supermarkets through the CDC Vouchers portal to plan their spending effectively.

How Do Merchants Benefit from this Scheme?

Merchants taking part in the scheme enjoy several benefits that make it worthwhile and easy to participate. A key advantage is the next-day payout for voucher redemptions, ensuring that merchants are reimbursed quickly and efficiently. There are no additional commissions or fees, which means merchants retain the full value of their sales. Additionally, the absence of physical vouchers makes operations simpler, eliminating risks such as loss or handling errors.

To further streamline the process, merchants are provided with the RedeemSG Merchant app, a simple and reliable tool for managing transactions and keeping records organized. To ensure a smooth onboarding experience, CDC ambassadors are available to guide merchants, offering support at every step.
