For most Singaporeans, this means real savings on daily essentials — from kopi at the hawker centre to groceries at the neighbourhood supermarket.
First introduced in 2021, CDC Vouchers have quietly become one of the most practical cost-of-living supports around. No forms, no income checks, no long wait. Just claim and use.
The January 2026 tranche continues this approach. Every household qualifies, and the vouchers are credited digitally for quick access and easy spending.

How CDC Vouchers Work (And Why They Matter)
CDC Vouchers are digital credits issued to households and accepted at thousands of participating outlets across Singapore. These include hawker stalls, wet markets, neighbourhood shops, and major supermarkets — basically places most families already spend at.
The idea is simple. Help households manage rising daily costs, while also directing spending back into heartland businesses. When vouchers are used at hawkers and small shops, the money stays within the neighbourhood economy. Everyone benefits.
Honestly speaking, this is why the scheme has been so well received over the years. It’s practical support, not complicated policy talk.
Claiming Your Vouchers Is Straightforward
There’s no application process and no paperwork to worry about. Households just need to log in using Singpass, claim the vouchers digitally, and start spending.
Once claimed, the vouchers can be shared among household members and used at participating outlets islandwide. No income testing, no exclusions. If you’re a household in Singapore, you’re covered.
Extra Help Beyond CDC Vouchers
Alongside the S$300 CDC Vouchers, households will also receive additional cost relief through U-Save utility rebates and Service & Conservancy Charges (S&CC) rebates.
These help offset electricity, water, and estate maintenance costs — expenses that add up quickly, especially for larger families or those living in older estates. Taken together, the support package eases monthly bills in a more balanced way.
What Singaporeans Are Saying
Many families appreciate receiving the vouchers early in the year. January spending tends to be heavier — festive gatherings, school-related costs, and daily expenses all hit at once.
Small businesses benefit too. Higher foot traffic and voucher spending often translate into better sales for hawkers and heartland shops. For neighbourhoods, this kind of support keeps things moving without overthinking the process.
