Background: What Are CDC Vouchers?
The CDC Vouchers Scheme was first introduced in 2020 to boost local commerce while supporting households during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, it has evolved into a cornerstone of Singapore’s cost-of-living assistance programs. Administered by the five Community Development Councils, the vouchers empower Singaporean families to reduce their daily expenditures while encouraging spending within local communities.
According to the Ministry of Finance, this round of CDC vouchers is part of the S$1.1 billion Assurance Package, reinforcing the government’s ongoing commitment to social equity and economic sustainability.
Why the Vouchers Matter
Singapore, like many other countries, has faced higher costs of living due to global inflation and supply chain disruptions. The CDC voucher initiative is not just financial aid—it is a strategic economic tool. By directing consumer spending toward local businesses and hawkers, the program stimulates the domestic economy and ensures that funds benefit the wider community.
Who Is Eligible?
If your household includes at least one Singaporean citizen, you are automatically eligible—regardless of your income, property type, or family structure. There’s no application process required. Permanent residents, work pass holders, and foreign households are not eligible.

Accessibility and Digital Support
While digital redemption is encouraged, the scheme remains inclusive:

Economic and Community Impact
The CDC Vouchers Scheme represents more than S$600 million in direct consumer spending across local businesses in the past few years. According to the Singapore Department of Statistics, small enterprises form over 95% of all businesses. By directing spending to these outlets, the voucher program supports sustainable economic growth.
