What Are CDC Vouchers and Why Do They Matter in 2025?
Launched initially under the Assurance Package in Budget 2024, the CDC Vouchers Scheme aims to counter rising living costs and support heartland businesses. Amidst continued inflationary pressures—projected to range between 2.3% to 3.0% in 2025—these vouchers offer timely financial relief.
The 2025 vouchers are not just a cost-saving measure for households—they’re also a targeted economic tool. By encouraging spending at hawker centres, small retailers, and community shops, the program keeps local economies vibrant and supports microenterprises in HDB heartlands.

FAQs About CDC Vouchers 2025
What happens if I don’t redeem the first $150 by June 30, 2025?
Unredeemed vouchers from Phase 1 will expire after June 30, 2025. They won’t carry over to the second half of the year, so it’s best to claim and use them early.
Can I split my vouchers between different merchants?
Yes, you can spend vouchers in any combination and amount, provided the vendors are part of the CDC program. You don’t need to use them all at once.
Can family members use the vouchers after I claim them?
Yes. Once claimed, the vouchers can be shared digitally with other household members through the CDC Vouchers portal. Each person can then scan and pay at vendors.
Are the vouchers usable for online purchases?
No, CDC vouchers are only accepted at physical participating stores. Online retailers are currently not included in the scheme.
What if I lose access to my digital vouchers?
If your device is lost or you change numbers, log in again at the CDC Vouchers site with Singpass. Your vouchers are linked to your NRIC, not your phone.
