Singapore’s CDC Vouchers have become a major source of relief for every household. They are still the most popular and uncomplicated ways the government supports each household with daily bills. The very next installment of $300 will be released in January 2026 and will form the last part of the $800 package first disclosed.
The assistance could not have come at a more suitable time, as the families are transitioning into the New Year and incurring regular expenses such as groceries, hawker meals, and household items. It is through the vouchers that one can automatically get, easy to claim, and support local shops and hawkers directly.
What Are CDC Vouchers?
CDC Vouchers are digital credits that are allocated to every household of Singapore. The vouchers can be redeemed only at participating hawkers, heartland merchants, and supermarkets. The scheme facilitates local spending while simultaneously easing the budget pressure on families.
The Enhanced $800 Package
In a decision taken by the government in 2025, the total amount per household was increased to $800:
- $300 for January 2025
- $500 in May 2025
The last $300 is set for release in January 2026 which will allow the easing of pressures to continue into the New Year.
Who Gets the $300 in 2026?
Any household with at least one Singapore citizen is eligible — no income test, no application needed. A family member endorses the claim using Singpass on behalf of the entire family.
How the Vouchers Are Split
The distribution of $300 is done in equal parts:
- $150 is for the hawkers and heartland shops
- $150 is for the supermarkets participating in the program
Such a balanced division caters to both neighborhood restaurants and those who have larger grocery needs.
