1️⃣ Redeem $300 in CDC Vouchers Now!

Redeem $300 in CDC Vouchers Now!
Every Singaporean household can now claim $300 in CDC vouchers to help with daily expenses.
These vouchers, which can be redeemed online at go.gov.sg/cdcv, are split equally for use at participating hawkers, heartland merchants, and supermarkets.
This initiative is part of the government's ongoing efforts to address cost-of-living concerns.
Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong launched the latest tranche of vouchers on June 25, highlighting that the total support provided under the Assurance Package exceeds $10 billion.
Each household has received $800 in CDC vouchers so far this year, marking the first time two tranches have been distributed in a single calendar year.
The CDC vouchers scheme was initially introduced in 2020 to support lower-income households during the COVID-19 pandemic and has since expanded to assist all households.
Approximately 1.3 million households have already claimed the vouchers distributed in January 2024, with more than $500 million spent at participating merchants.
The scheme continues to be an effective tool in helping Singaporeans manage daily expenses amidst rising prices due to global supply chain disruptions and external conflicts.
To claim the latest vouchers, households will receive a notification letter with instructions.
The digital vouchers can be claimed by one household member using their Singpass and shared via a unique link received by SMS.
Participating hawkers and merchants can be identified by specific CDC voucher decals.
For those needing assistance with the claiming process, help is available at community centres and SG Digital Community Hubs.
The vouchers are valid until December 31, 2024, providing ample time for households to benefit from this support.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to ease your daily expenses and support local businesses with the CDC vouchers.
