SINGAPORE: CDC vouchers will continue to benefit Singaporeans in 2024, providing a financial boost to households across Singapore.
CDC vouchers were designed to invigorate local businesses by distributing S$100 worth of Community Development Council (CDC) vouchers to specific households. Over time, the government expanded this support to include all Singaporean households. Here’s a quick CDC voucher guide as to what CDC vouchers are, how to get them, and more.
What is a CDC voucher?
The CDC Voucher Scheme, launched in 2020, aimed to assist households in managing the cost of living while supporting local businesses.
These vouchers, available in denominations of S$2, S$5, and S$10, can be used at participating local merchants, including hawker stalls, food courts, bakeries, wet market stalls, provision shops, hair salons, and more.
In 2024, all households are set to receive a total of S$500 in CDC vouchers, marking a S$200 increase from the previous year.
This additional sum will be divided into two categories, with S$100 allocated for spending at participating heartland merchants and hawkers and the remaining S$100 for participating supermarkets.
As long as at least one Singaporean citizen is in a household, it qualifies for the vouchers.
How to get a CDC voucher
The process of obtaining CDC vouchers in 2024 has yet to be disclosed, but in 2023, individuals could claim vouchers in person or online via SingPass.
Various local businesses participate in the CDC Voucher Scheme, ranging from food and beverage establishments to electronic shops and clinics.
