SINGAPORE: Singaporean households can now claim and use S$500 (US$380) in Community Development Council (CDC) vouchers, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong announced on Tuesday (May 13) at Nee Soon South Community Club.
The CDC vouchers, meant to help households manage cost-of-living challenges, will be divided equally as per previous tranches – S$250 for spending at participating heartland merchants and hawkers, and S$250 for spending at participating supermarkets.
The participating supermarkets are Ang Mo Supermarket, Cold Storage, Giant Singapore, HAO Mart, NTUC FairPrice, Prime Supermarket, Sheng Siong and U Stars Supermarket.
Similar to the previous rounds, one member of each Singaporean household can visit go.gov.sg/cdcv and log in with their Singpass to claim the digital vouchers.
Once claimed, an SMS from gov.sg will be sent to the registered mobile number, containing a unique voucher link that can be shared among household members.
Notification letters will not be issued for this tranche of vouchers, but information on the claiming process will be available online, and through newspaper advertisements and community posters.
Ms Low Yen Ling, Mayor of the South West District, said Singaporeans who still need a physical voucher can get it printed at the community centres.
“Even as we roll out more rounds, we will not stop looking at how can we continue to improve the process, to make it more hassle-free, to also then help us to evolve to (an) environmentally sustainable approach without compromising the delivery of service.”
This tranche of vouchers will be valid until Dec 31, 2025.
Members of the public are urged to exercise caution when claiming CDC vouchers and not to disclose bank log-in details, transfer money or install mobile applications from unofficial app stores, the People’s Association (PA) and CDC said.
Households will receive another S$300 in CDC vouchers in January 2026 for a total of S$800 in vouchers this financial year.
