Singapore has officially greenlit the $1,920 CDC Vouchers scheme for June 2025, providing meaningful cost-of-living support for all Singaporean households.
Managed by the Community Development Council (CDC), this initiative is part of a long-term strategy to promote domestic spending and community-driven economic resilience.
Amid global inflation and economic uncertainty, this targeted relief effort empowers families to manage rising expenses while uplifting local hawkers, small retailers, and heartland businesses.
What Are the $1,920 CDC Vouchers?
The CDC Vouchers 2025 scheme allocates $1,920 in total value to every Singaporean household, distributed across four quarters.
These vouchers are redeemable both digitally and physically at over 20,000 participating merchants, including hawker centers, minimarts, and community retailers.
Unlike one-off schemes of the past, this year’s initiative introduces quarterly disbursement, ensuring sustained support throughout the year.
Quarterly CDC Voucher Disbursement Table
| Disbursement Month | Amount (SGD) | Usable At |
|---|---|---|
| June 2025 | $480 | Hawker centers, markets |
| September 2025 | $480 | Supermarkets, minimarts |
| December 2025 | $480 | Local retail & essential services |
| March 2026 | $480 | General merchants, food & beverage outlets |
This tiered approach promotes consistent spending across different sectors and allows households to plan expenses better.
Who Is Eligible for the CDC Vouchers?
- All Singaporean households are automatically eligible.
- No application is required.
- Notifications begin June 10, 2025 via SMS and Singpass inbox.
Households will be guided to the CDC Voucher Portal, where they can log in using Singpass, authenticate their details, and claim their vouchers digitally.
For residents who prefer printed vouchers or need assistance, Community Centres (CCs) and Residents’ Committees (RCs) are providing on-ground support, particularly for the elderly or less tech-savvy.
How to Use the CDC Vouchers in 2025
The GovWallet system has been enhanced to streamline redemption. Users can scan QR codes at participating businesses, while physical vouchers will remain accepted at designated outlets.
Participating merchants are clearly marked with CDC signage and stickers, and have been trained in updated digital redemption processes to avoid delays or system glitches.

The vouchers are part of a broader Singapore aid strategy, which also includes:

The $1,920 CDC Vouchers program represents more than just monetary support—it reflects Singapore’s commitment to community resilience and shared prosperity.
With phased payouts, simplified access, and targeted merchant partnerships, this initiative is set to benefit households and small businesses alike throughout 2025 and early 2026.
