On 13 May 2025, Singaporean households received S$500 in Community Development Council (CDC) vouchers. These May 2025 CDC vouchers are part of the 2025 Budget’s enhanced Assurance Package, designed to mitigate cost-of-living pressures amid global economic challenges.
An additional S$300 in CDC vouchers will be paid out in Jan 2026, bringing the total to S$800 for the financial year.
The May 2025 CDC vouchers are evenly split: S$250 for use at participating heartland merchants and hawkers, and S$250 for supermarkets like NTUC FairPrice, Sheng Siong, Cold Storage, Giant Singapore, HAO Mart, Prime Supermarket and U Stars Supermarket.
With this approach, both local businesses and Singaporean homes benefit. Over 97% of households claimed the previous January tranche, spending more than S$324 million, mainly on food and groceries.
Households with at least one Singapore citizen can access their vouchers via go.gov.sg/cdcv. To claim them, just one member of these eligible households needs to log in with their Singpass. They will receive a unique voucher link for the home via SMS. This link can be shared with the rest of the household so each member can use it concurrently.
The May 2025 CDC vouchers are valid until 31 Dec 2025.
Supermarkets are running promotions to coincide with this launch. FairPrice Group, Cold Storage and Giant are offering a S$6 return voucher for every S$60 spent in a single CDC voucher transaction from 13 to 19 May 2025. There is no minimum spend when you use the return voucher.
All adult Singaporeans will also receive SG60 vouchers in Jul 2025. All citizens above the age of 21 will get S$600 while seniors aged 60 and above will receive S$800. These vouchers can be used at all businesses where CDC vouchers are accepted.
Please be mindful when you claim your May 2025 CDC vouchers online. Do not respond to requests asking for your banking credentials, OTP or password. Do not transfer any money or install apps from any websites. None of these are required to claim your CDC vouchers. If you suspect a scam, call the 24/7 ScamShield Helpline at 1799.
