In January 2025, the government of Singapore launched the latest tranche for the CDC Vouchers Scheme to give every Singaporean household S$300 in digital vouchers. This initiative was part of the enhanced Assurance Package announced during the Budget 2024, which aimed to help households facing economic uncertainties with their daily living costs.
Understanding the CDC Vouchers Scheme 2025
The CDC Vouchers Scheme started during the COVID-19 pandemic to aid households as well as local businesses. The USD 500 voucher was given to each household in January 2024 and USD 300 in June 2024. In 2025, the same support of S$300 will be issued to each household.
How to Claim Your S$300 CDC Vouchers
Households can start claiming their vouchers through digital means at an official claim portal as of January 3, 2025. After you have managed to log in with your Singpass account, you can start following the instructions on the screen and claim away.
Upon validation of the claims, SMS containing the unique voucher creation link from “gov.sg” will be dispatched to the household’s registered mobile number. Be sure to verify the authenticity of the link by checking that it starts with “https://voucher.redeem.gov.sg/.”
Where to Use Your CDC Vouchers
With S$300 in CDC vouchers to redeem for their future, each household will need to make choices either to spend S$150 with those participating heartland merchants and hawkers, or to plop the other S$150 on participating supermarkets. It provides an evenly balanced split between the two types to help households out in their varied daily needs.
Validity Period
The CDC Vouchers 2025 will be valid until December 31, 2025. Therefore, it is advisable that households claim and use their vouchers within the stated timeframe.
Assistance and Support
The claim process for households encountering problems is also on hand. Should households need to claim, or questions can be answered by visiting their nearest Community Center or Community Club with their NRIC for staff to help them claim the voucher. Alternatively, a hotline of 6225 5322 may be dropped at any time to address every issue between 8 am and 6 pm, except on public holidays.
Circumstances may make it difficult for you to reclaim the vouchers yourself; you can, therefore, authorize them to be claimed by someone else who is not a household member. The proper documents must be provided for this individual to be authorized.
Ensuring Security
Just like with anything digital, the security aspects seem sacrosanct. Those SMS-containing-voucher-links coming from “gov.sg” may only be considered legitimate; these will begin with “https://voucher.redeem.gov.sg/.” Do not click on any other prefixes and never share your personal or financial details in response to spontaneous messages.
Conclusion
The CDC Vouchers Scheme 2025 is another example of the Government of Singapore’s commitment to assisting households with ever-increasing living costs. Understanding how to claim and use these vouchers can allow households to make the most of this financial support and lift some of the daily burdens.
