Singapore CDC Vouchers 2025: S$300 in November plus S$500 in December: Eligibility, Claim Steps, Where To Use

Good news for households planning their 2025 budget. Singapore will issue S$300 in CDC vouchers to every Singaporean household in November, followed by another S$500 in December. Together, families receive S$800 across the year. These digital vouchers are designed to ease everyday costs and support local merchants. If you saw headlines suggesting S$300 is only for 250,000 homes, that is incorrect. The scheme covers all Singaporean households. Below is a clear breakdown of eligibility, timelines, how to claim, where you can spend, and practical tips to get maximum value.

What The CDC Voucher Scheme Is

The CDC Voucher Scheme is a nationwide program that gives households digital vouchers redeemable at participating hawkers, heartland shops, and supermarkets. It began as pandemic era support and has evolved into a targeted way to put spending power directly into neighborhoods while helping small businesses. Unlike cash credits that may flow to any outlet, CDC vouchers are accepted only at participating local merchants and supermarkets. That focus keeps spending in the community and sustains small operators.

Who Qualifies

• All Singaporean households qualify. You do not need to meet income or property tests for this scheme
• One allocation is provided per household. The member who claims can share the voucher link with other household members so everyone can use the balance conveniently
• The scheme is meant to be inclusive. If digital access is a challenge, community centres and CDC helpdesks can guide you through claiming and using the vouchers

How To Claim Your Vouchers

1. Prepare Singpass
   Make sure you can log in with Singpass on your phone or desktop browser.
2. Go to the official portal
   Visit go.gov.sg/cdcv. Avoid clicking links in random messages or unofficial social posts.
3. Log in and retrieve your vouchers
   Follow the prompts to generate your household voucher links. You will see the balance for hawkers or heartland shops and for supermarkets.
4. Share with household members
   Use the portal’s share function to send the link to family members living at the same address. Each merchant scans the QR code at payment.
5. Track your balance
   The balance updates after each redemption. Check it periodically so you can plan the remainder of your spending.

Where You Can Spend

• Hawkers and heartland shops: coffee shops, wet markets, minimarts, provision stores, hairdressers, repair services, and more that display the CDC Vouchers decal
• Supermarkets: participating chains and neighborhood supermarkets listed on the official site
• Tip: search the merchant directory on the portal to confirm a shop before you head down. This saves time and avoids disappointment

Smart Ways To Maximise Value

• Plan essentials first: rice, cooking oil, fresh produce, meat or fish, dairy, and cleaning supplies
• Stack deals: combine vouchers with in store promotions or credit card grocery discounts where allowed
• Shop early in the month: popular outlets are busiest near month end and during weekends
• Share strategically: split the link across adult household members so errands are easier and balances are used efficiently
• Keep an eye on expiry: set a reminder on your phone and use up balances well before the deadline

Common Misunderstanding: 250,000 Homes

If you saw headlines that only 250,000 households get S$300, that number relates to other targeted programs. CDC vouchers apply to every Singaporean household. In 2025, that means more than one million households can claim S$300 in November and S$500 in December. Do not leave money unclaimed. Retrieve your links via Singpass and start using them at participating merchants.

Benefits For Local Businesses

Hawkers and small shops benefit when customers redeem vouchers in the neighborhood. The scheme lowers friction for families to dine at hawker centres and shop at heartland stores. For merchants, higher foot traffic often leads to repeat customers even after voucher periods end. That helps stabilize revenue and keeps local streets vibrant.

Safety Tips To Avoid Scams

• Always access the portal using go.gov.sg/cdcv or via the CDC official site. Do not click unknown links
• Government messages will not ask for bank logins, card details, or one time passwords
• Verify hotline numbers on official pages before you call anyone for help
• If you lose your link or suspect misuse, visit the portal for guidance on resetting or contact an official helpdesk
