S$300 CDC Vouchers: With rising costs of living, the Singapore government has rolled out another round of support with the S$300 CDC Vouchers for 2025. This year’s edition helps households with daily expenses and local businesses. Over 1.3 million eligible households can claim this benefit, but time is running out — vouchers expire on 31 Dec 2025.
Whether you’re a young family, retired or covering student expenses, these vouchers stretch your budget further. The good news? Claiming and using them is easy if you know how.
What Are the S$300 CDC Vouchers?
As part of the Assurance Package, the Community Development Council (CDC) Voucher Scheme gives every eligible household S$300 to spend locally.
Introduced in 2020 during the pandemic, the scheme was so popular that it became an annual support measure. With redemption rates above 90% in previous years, it’s clear many Singaporeans value the financial relief and community-focused benefits of the programme.
Who Is Eligible?
Good news is that almost all Singaporean households qualify. You’re eligible if:
- At least one member of your household is a Singapore Citizen .
- Your household lives in Singapore , whether you live in an HDB flat, condo or landed property.
- There are no income requirements , so everyone from low-income families to high-earning professionals can take part.
So unless you’re a foreigner or don’t live here, you’re likely due for a voucher.
How to Claim Your Vouchers
Getting your hands on the S$300 is easy. Here’s how:
- Go to go.gov.sg/cdcv .
- Select “CDC Vouchers Scheme 2025 (Jan)”.

Where Can You Use Them?
Your S$300 is divided into two parts:
- 150 for neighborhood shops, hawker centers and other heartland businesses.
- 150 for major supermarkets like FairPrice, Giant, Sheng Siong, Cold Storage, etc.
To find participating outlets:

Boosting Local Businesses
This isn’t just about saving money — it’s also about helping small businesses survive. Since its launch, the CDC Voucher scheme has injected over S$370 million into the local economy between 2021 and 2024.
Hawkers, shopkeepers and service providers have seen increased sales and foot traffic, especially in quieter neighborhoods. Supporting local through these vouchers means keeping our communities alive.
Real-Life Example: The Tan Family
Take the Tans, a 4-member family living in Yishun. They claimed their vouchers early and used the supermarket part for monthly groceries at FairPrice. They had meals at a local chicken rice stall and bought fresh bread from a nearby bakery using the hawker part.
They saved almost 20% of their food budget, proving that even small steps can add up to big savings.
Smart Tips to Maximize Your Vouchers
Here are some smart ways to get the most out of your S$300:
