All Singaporean households will receive SGD 500 in Community Development Council (CDC) Vouchers starting 13 May 2025, according to an official news release.
This payout is part of the broader Assurance Package announced during Budget 2025 by Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Lawrence Wong.
In total, households are set to receive SGD 800 in CDC Vouchers for the Financial Year 2025 — SGD 500 in May, followed by an additional SGD 300 in January 2026.
This new tranche comes on top of the earlier SGD 300 worth of CDC Vouchers that households began receiving from 3 January 2025.
As with previous distributions, the upcoming SGD 500 will be split evenly: SGD 250 for use at participating heartland merchants and hawkers, and SGD 250 for purchases at participating supermarkets.
Authorities have also issued a reminder to the public to stay vigilant when claiming government payouts. Officials stressed that residents will never be asked to disclose their bank login details, transfer money, or download mobile applications from unofficial app stores in order to receive the CDC Vouchers.
Anyone who suspects a scam is encouraged to call the ScamShield Helpline, which operates round the clock at 1799.
