In June 2025, Singapore officially approved the disbursement of $1,920 in CDC Vouchers to every eligible Singaporean household.
This major aid rollout is part of the government’s continued effort to reduce cost-of-living pressures, foster neighborhood commerce, and promote community resilience during uncertain economic times.
The Community Development Council (CDC) leads the initiative, emphasizing accessibility, support for local businesses, and economic equity for all households.
What Are the $1,920 CDC Vouchers in 2025?
The $1,920 CDC Vouchers are a combination of digital and physical coupons issued quarterly across 12 months. Unlike past schemes, the 2025 version allows residents to spend throughout the year in multiple sectors—from hawker stalls to supermarkets and heartland retailers.
This structure supports longer-term financial relief and continuous engagement with local merchants.
Voucher Disbursement Schedule & Usage Areas
The vouchers are issued quarterly, with S$480 disbursed each time. Below is the full disbursement breakdown:
| Disbursement Month | Amount (S$) | Usage Areas |
|---|---|---|
| June 2025 | S$480 | Hawker centres, markets |
| September 2025 | S$480 | Supermarkets, minimarts |
| December 2025 | S$480 | Retail shops, service providers |
| March 2026 | S$480 | General merchants, F&B outlets |
This staggered approach ensures sustained household support and boosts spending across multiple community sectors.
