CDC Vouchers 2026: How to Claim, Use & Check Your S$500 Household Vouchers

Every Singaporean household can receive S$500 in CDC Vouchers from June 2026. Here is how the vouchers work, where to use them and what to remember before paying. This guide focuses on practical decisions and uses current official sources available at publication time.

How much are the 2026 CDC Vouchers?

Budget 2026 provides S$500 in CDC Vouchers from June 2026 for every Singaporean household. A further S$300 tranche is scheduled for January 2027.

The vouchers are divided equally between two spending pools: participating heartland merchants and hawkers, and participating supermarkets. That means the June S$500 package is designed to support both neighbourhood spending and household grocery purchases.

Who is eligible?

GovBenefits states that every Singaporean household is eligible. The scheme is household-based rather than a separate S$500 entitlement for every individual family member.

Typically, one household member claims the vouchers digitally on behalf of the household. If you share a home with family members, coordinate before claiming so nobody is confused about whether the household has already activated the vouchers.

How to claim CDC Vouchers

Use the official CDC Vouchers website and sign in through the government-supported claim process. Avoid links in unsolicited messages if you are unsure about their authenticity; navigate to the official site yourself.

1. Go to the official CDC Vouchers resident portal.
2. Use Singpass when prompted.
3. Complete the household claim process.
4. Save or share the voucher link only with trusted household members.

The digital voucher link should be treated like money. Do not post screenshots or forward it publicly.

Where can you spend the vouchers?

The merchant/hawker portion can be used at participating neighbourhood businesses and hawkers displaying the relevant CDC Voucher decal. The supermarket portion is for participating supermarket chains.

Coverage can change as merchants join or leave the programme, so use the official merchant finder rather than relying on an old social-media list. Before a larger purchase, confirm that the outlet accepts the correct voucher type.

How payment works at the counter

Open the household voucher link, choose the relevant merchant or supermarket voucher pool and select the amount you want to use. Present the generated QR code to the participating merchant for scanning.

If the bill is higher than the voucher amount, you can generally pay the balance using another payment method accepted by the merchant. If you select more voucher value than needed, clarify the amount before confirming because CDC Vouchers are intended to be used in fixed denominations rather than returned as cash change.

When do the 2026 vouchers expire?

GovBenefits states that the June 2026 S$500 vouchers and the additional January 2027 S$300 tranche will be valid until 31 December 2027. That gives households a long usage window, but it is still sensible to avoid leaving the entire balance until the final weeks.

Check the official voucher page for your live balance and the latest validity information whenever timing matters.

CDC Voucher scam-safety tips

Because the scheme is widely used, fake claim links are an obvious scam risk. Use the official government/CDC voucher website, inspect the web address before signing in and never disclose your Singpass credentials to a caller or message sender.

If a suspicious message claims your vouchers are expiring immediately or asks for a fee to release them, verify independently. You can also use our ScamShield Singapore guide for checking suspicious links and messages.
