Singapore SG60 Vouchers 2025: Eligibility, Claim Steps, Usage Rules, Validity, and FAQs

Singapore is celebrating 60 years of nationhood with a practical, people first initiative. Under Budget 2025, the Government has introduced SG60 Vouchers that provide direct support for everyday spending while channeling dollars to heartland businesses and supermarkets. Adult citizens can claim up to S$800 in digital vouchers and spend them across a large, growing network of participating hawkers, small merchants, and essential retailers. This guide explains who qualifies, how to claim, where you can use the vouchers, key deadlines, and smart tips to make the most of your benefits.

What Are SG60 Vouchers and Why They Matter

The SG60 Vouchers are a one time digital benefit granted to adult citizens in honor of Singapore’s 60th year. The policy serves two goals at once. It gives households extra help with rising daily costs and it directs spending to local enterprises that are essential to community life. By earmarking half the value for hawkers and heartland merchants and the other half for supermarkets and essential retailers, the scheme strengthens both neighborhood economies and family budgets.

Quick Summary

Who Is Eligible and How Much You Will Receive

Eligibility is intentionally broad and simple.

• Citizens aged 60 and above in 2025 receive S$800
• Citizens aged 21 to 59 in 2025 receive S$600

There are no income tests, no employment conditions, and no property ownership checks. Permanent Residents and non citizens are not eligible. Seniors are granted a higher amount in recognition of their contributions and to help with recurring needs such as groceries, utilities, and healthcare items.

How To Claim Your SG60 Vouchers

You can claim your vouchers entirely online or with in person help.

Digital claim with Singpass

1. Go to RedeemSG and select the SG60 Vouchers page.
2. Log in with Singpass and pass the usual two factor steps.
3. Follow the on screen prompts to activate your vouchers.
4. Your vouchers appear instantly in your digital wallet with separate balances for the two spending categories.

Assisted claim at a Community Centre or Community Club

• Bring your NRIC and a mobile number for OTP.
• Staff can help seniors and less digitally confident residents complete the claim and show how to use the QR at participating outlets.
• Caregivers who assist should bring their own ID and any authorisation letter requested by the CC.

Tip
Claim early to avoid peak periods near major festivals. If you change your mobile number later, update it promptly so you continue receiving merchant receipts and balance alerts.

Where and How You Can Use the Vouchers

You can spend the SG60 Vouchers in two clearly defined buckets.

1. Heartland merchants and hawkers
   • Hawker stalls, kopi shops, market vendors, neighborhood salons, repair services, and small shops that display the acceptance decal.
   • The merchant scans your voucher QR or you present your QR from the wallet app to complete a cashless transaction.
2. Supermarkets and essential retail
   • Participating supermarkets and essential goods outlets such as minimarts and pharmacies listed in the acceptance directory.
   • At checkout, select SG60 Vouchers, present your QR, and confirm the payable amount. You can split payment if the bill exceeds the voucher balance.

Important usage notes

• You cannot transfer the vouchers to another person.
• Vouchers cannot be exchanged for cash.
• Alcohol, tobacco, and non essential restricted items may be excluded by policy.
• Always check your remaining balance after each transaction.

Validity, Expiry, and Refunds

• Vouchers are valid until 31 December 2026.
• Unused balances expire after that date and cannot be reinstated.
• If a payment fails but appears deducted, you will receive automatic reversal once the merchant voids the transaction or the payment gateway times out. Keep your digital receipt and contact the helpdesk if the reversal does not show in a reasonable time frame.

Security and Scam Awareness

Large public schemes attract impersonation attempts. Keep yourself safe with simple habits.

• Only use official RedeemSG links and your Singpass app.
• Do not share OTP codes or Singpass passwords with anyone.
• Be wary of messages asking for card details, bank logins, or fees to “unlock” extra vouchers.
• If you suspect fraud, contact the official helpdesk or visit your CC for verification.

Practical Tips To Maximise Your SG60 Vouchers

• Plan essentials first. Use the supermarket portion for staples such as rice, cooking oil, and household items.
• Support your neighborhood. Try new hawker stalls and small services near you to keep the local economy vibrant.
• Track balances. Set a monthly reminder so you finish the vouchers well before the expiry date.
• Combine with other benefits. Stack retailer promos or membership points where permitted to stretch your dollar.

Common Issues and How To Resolve Them

• Cannot log in: Update your Singpass app and ensure your NRIC is registered correctly.
• Merchant not found: Search the acceptance directory and confirm the outlet is onboarded for SG60, not just other voucher programs.
• Payment failed: Ask the merchant to retry once. If still failing, pay using other means and lodge a report with your transaction timestamp for follow up.
• Name or NRIC mismatch: Visit the CC for assisted verification and record update.
