Yes—you can combine both the $3,700 Assurance Package cash boost and CDC Vouchers in 2025 without penalty. These are separate schemes designed to work together, offering both direct funds and vouchers for household relief.
What You Receive: Cash vs Vouchers
| Scheme | Eligibility | Amount | Disbursement Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| $3,700 Assurance Cash Boost | Singaporean households, aged 21+, lower-income, non-property owner | Up to S$3,700 lump sum | June 2025 |
| CDC Vouchers 2025 | All Singaporean households | S$800 total in 2025 | S$500 in May 2025 + S$300 in Jan 2026 |
Because they’re managed separately, getting one does not affect eligibility for the other—meaning you can enjoy both benefits fully.
What’s Included in the $3,700 Cash Boost?
Part of the Budget 2025 Assurance Package, it delivers:
- Up to S$3,700 in cash, depending on income, household structure, and property ownership, targeting those most affected by cost-of-living pressures.
- Designed as direct support for bills, groceries, or emergencies.
Understanding CDC Vouchers
As part of the same Assurance Package:
- Total value: S$800
- S$500 released in May 2025
- S$300 issued in January 2026
- Divided into:
- S$250 for supermarkets
- S$250 for hawkers/heartland merchants
- Valid until 31 December 2025
This ensures support is both monetary and practical, helping with daily essentials while distributing cash for other uses.
Stacking Benefits: How It Works
- Automatic eligibility: Receiving one does not disqualify you from the other.
- Separate portals: Cash via Singpass/MyInfo, CDC vouchers via the CDC portal.
- Retention of full value: Both schemes can be used in full; no offsets or clawbacks.
So, you don’t have to choose—you’re entitled to both if you qualify.
How to Make the Most of Both
- Check eligibility: Ensure you’re included in the Assurance Package and that your household hasn’t received similar payouts.
- Claim on time:
- Cash boost in June 2025
- CDC vouchers starting 13 May 2025 (claim via go.gov.sg/cdcv)
- Use smartly:

- CDC vouchers: Spend at heartland stores & supermarkets to directly offset daily costs.
Both the $3,700 Assurance cash boost and CDC Vouchers are separate, complementary relief schemes open to eligible households.
By taking both, you can cover both daily needs and pressing expenses effectively. Take action early—claims have deadlines and vouchers expire by year-end.
