In March 2025, Singapore continues to support its citizens through enhanced financial benefits under the Assurance Package. Two key schemes—CDC Vouchers and GST Vouchers—are being distributed to help households with daily expenses, healthcare costs, and utility bills.
These vouchers are especially critical for low- and middle-income families, ensuring they can manage essential costs despite economic pressures.
CDC Vouchers March 2025: How Much and Who Gets Them
The Community Development Council (CDC) Vouchers for 2025 provide direct spending support for Singaporean households. According to the March update, each household will receive S$300 in total for the year.
The amount is split into two phases:
- Phase 1: S$150 available from March to June 2025
- Phase 2: S$150 available from July to December 2025
The vouchers can be used at:
- Heartland merchants and hawkers
- Participating supermarkets
- Selected essential services
Only one member per household needs to claim the vouchers through the CDC Voucher Portal at go.gov.sg/cdcv using their Singpass.

Each voucher type has different eligibility and payout amounts.
