Singapore is providing more financial support measures for its citizens as a way of easing their burden due to the increases in living costs and at the same time, it is celebrating the nation’s 60th birthday. The CDC Vouchers 2025–26 and the SG60 Vouchers are two main projects that will positively impact huge numbers of people and households.
What Are CDC Vouchers?
These Community Development Council (CDC) Vouchers are given to every Singaporean family in order to reduce the cost of living. They can be spent at certain hawker stalls, supermarkets, and heartland shops. The households were given S$300 in January and S$500 in May, which meant they received S$800 in total by the year 2025.
What Are SG60 Vouchers?
The SG60 Vouchers are a one-time-only promotion to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Singapore’s independence.
- One adult will be entitled to S$600 if he/she is 21 years old or older.
- A senior person of 60+ will get S$800 (an extra S$200 bonus).
These vouchers will be given out starting in July 2025 and will be valid until December 31, 2026.
How to Claim the Vouchers
You can claim both CDC and SG60 vouchers by electronic means via RedeemSG using Singpass. Community Centres/Clubs offer help to the people who can’t claim online. Once the vouchers are claimed, they can be used at all stores that accept CDC vouchers.
Where Can You Spend Them?
There is a wide range of places and it is very convenient to use the vouchers:
- Hawker centres and coffee shops

This ensures that households receive the benefits of vouchers directly through their daily spending.
