of $1,920 CDC Vouchers for 2025. This new initiative is designed to help families manage rising costs while empowering neighborhood businesses through targeted community spending.
These vouchers will be distributed in four phases, offering both digital and physical options, and will be accepted at thousands of hawkers, heartland shops, and supermarkets across the island. Here’s everything you need to know about the latest CDC Voucher program.
What Are the $1,920 CDC Vouchers?
The $1,920 CDC Vouchers are a form of community support issued by the government to all Singaporean households. Unlike previous years where vouchers were disbursed once or twice annually, the 2025 edition will be distributed quarterly to extend household spending power throughout the year.
These vouchers come in $480 portions and can be used at participating local merchants. This staggered rollout enables better budgeting and a sustained boost to the local economy.
Voucher Disbursement Schedule & Usage
Below is a breakdown of the CDC voucher distribution plan:
| Disbursement Month | Amount | Usage Area |
|---|---|---|
| June 2025 | S$480 | Hawker centres, wet markets |
| September 2025 | S$480 | Supermarkets and minimarts |
| December 2025 | S$480 | Local retail and essential services |
| March 2026 | S$480 | General merchants, cafes, F&B outlets |
The schedule ensures that economic support is evenly spread across the year, reaching different sectors in the heartland economy.
Eligibility and Redemption Process
All Singaporean households are automatically eligible for the $1,920 vouchers—no application is required.
Starting June 10, 2025, eligible households will receive a notification via SMS or digital inbox, prompting them to log in with their Singpass account to claim their share. For residents who are not tech-savvy, physical vouchers will be available at Community Clubs (CCs) and Residents’ Committees (RCs).
Once claimed, the vouchers can be shared among household members, increasing flexibility in daily usage.
Where Can You Use the Vouchers?
The vouchers can be used at over 20,000 participating merchants, including:
- Hawker stalls
- Minimarts and supermarkets
- Neighborhood retailers
- Family-run F&B outlets
- General services (e.g., hair salons, laundromats)
Participating businesses will display CDC Voucher signage and QR codes, making it easy to spot where you can spend your vouchers.
This program not only supports families but also channels spending into small and micro-enterprises—those who often feel the pinch most during economic uncertainty.

The $1,920 CDC Voucher scheme is more than just financial aid—it represents a long-term strategy to:
