Looking for freebies this new year? Every Singaporean household can redeem $300 worth of Community Development Council (CDC) vouchers from January 2, 2026. This scheme is part of an ongoing effort to help offset rising daily expenses while supporting local businesses across the island. Wonderfully, half of the vouchers can be used at hawkers and heartland merchants, while the other $150 can be spent at participating supermarkets. The 2026 cdc vouchers are fully digital, easy to claim with Singpass, and can be used all the way until December 31, 2026. Here’s what we know about the cdc voucher scheme this January 2026.
What households will receive
Each eligible household will get a total of $300 in CDC vouchers, as part of the $800 package of vouchers announced in Budget 2025, to help with cost of living pressures.
The cdc 2026 voucher scheme covers all Singaporean households with at least one Singapore citizen, with no income assessment or separate application needed. These CDC vouchers follows the earlier $500 given out in May 2025—bringing added support in the new financial year.
How to claim CDC vouchers 2026
One member of each household can visit this website and log in with Singpass to claim cdc voucher 2026 from today (January 2). After claiming on behalf of the entire household, an SMS from gov.sg with a unique link will be sent to the registered mobile number, and this link can be shared with other family members so everyone can use the digital vouchers on their phones.
Additionally, community clubs and centres will have staff, volunteers, and digital ambassadors on hand in the first weeks of January to guide seniors or residents who are less digitally savvy through the claiming process.
Where and when can the CDC vouchers be used in 2026?
The $300 is split into two equal portions: $150 to be spent at participating hawkers and heartland merchants, and $150 at participating supermarkets. Wonderfully, more than 24,000 hawkers and merchants like cafes, plus major supermarket chains operating hundreds of outlets islandwide are on the scheme. Residents can look out for the CDC vouchers signs at storefronts to identify participating businesses. Vouchers are valid until December 31, 2026.
The government reminders residents to never disclose bank login details, transfer any money, or download apps from unofficial app stores to claim their CDC vouchers—and any request to do so is likely a scam.
