CDC Voucher Singapore 2026 support includes separate household voucher tranches, while the SG60 Vouchers are an individual benefit introduced for eligible adult Singapore citizens. The two schemes use a similar digital claiming and spending process, but their eligibility rules, amounts and expiry dates are different.
Every Singaporean household can claim the $300 CDC Vouchers 2026 January tranche and the $500 CDC Vouchers 2026 June tranche. Separately, eligible Singapore citizens can still claim and spend their $600 or $800 SG60 Vouchers until 31 December 2026.
This guide explains who qualifies for the SG60 $800 vouchers, when the 2026 CDC vouchers became available, how to claim each benefit and where the digital vouchers can be spent.
What Is the CDC Voucher Singapore Scheme?
The Community Development Council Vouchers Scheme helps Singaporean households manage everyday expenses. The digital vouchers can be used at participating heartland merchants, hawkers and supermarkets displaying the relevant CDC Voucher decal.
CDC Vouchers are issued to a household, not separately to every person living at the address. Only one household member needs to log in with Singpass and claim the available tranche on behalf of the household. The voucher link received by SMS can then be shared with other household members.
The voucher value is divided equally between two spending categories. One half can be used at participating hawkers and heartland merchants. The other half can be used at participating supermarkets.
CDC Voucher Singapore 2026 Amounts and Claim Dates
There are two CDC Voucher tranches available in 2026. They have different launch and expiry dates, so households should select the correct option when visiting the official claim page.
- CDC Vouchers 2026 January: $300 per Singaporean household, available to claim from 2 January 2026 and valid until 31 December 2026.
- CDC Vouchers 2026 June: $500 per Singaporean household, available to claim from 11 June 2026 and valid until 31 December 2027.
The $300 January tranche is divided into $150 for heartland merchants and hawkers and $150 for supermarkets. The $500 June tranche is divided into $250 for heartland merchants and hawkers and $250 for supermarkets.
The June 2026 tranche was originally expected in January 2027. It was brought forward to June 2026 to provide earlier support for households facing higher living costs and economic uncertainty.
Is the CDC $800 Voucher the Same as the SG60 $800 Voucher?
No. The phrase “$800 voucher” can refer to different benefits, which causes confusion.
The $800 announced under Budget 2025 for Singaporean households consisted of $500 in CDC Vouchers released in May 2025 and another $300 released in January 2026. The May 2025 vouchers have expired, while the January 2026 portion remains valid until 31 December 2026.
The SG60 $800 voucher is a separate individual benefit for eligible senior Singapore citizens. It is not a household CDC Voucher payment, although it can be claimed and spent through a similar digital process and used at businesses accepting CDC Vouchers.
Who Is Eligible for SG60 $800 Vouchers?
Singapore citizens born in 1965 or earlier are eligible for $800 in SG60 Vouchers. This covers citizens who were aged 60 or above in 2025.
Singapore citizens born from 1966 through 2004 are eligible for $600 in SG60 Vouchers. This covers citizens who were aged 21 to 59 in 2025.
- Born in 1965 or earlier: $800 in SG60 Vouchers.
- Born from 1966 to 2004: $600 in SG60 Vouchers.
- Citizenship requirement: The recipient must be a Singapore citizen.
- Household restriction: SG60 eligibility applies to each qualifying person, rather than one claim per household.
The SG60 Vouchers were introduced as part of the SG60 Package. They recognise the contributions of Singaporeans and provide additional support with daily expenses.
When Can I Collect the CDC Voucher in 2026?
The $300 CDC Vouchers 2026 January tranche has been available since 2 January 2026. The $500 CDC Vouchers 2026 June tranche has been available since 11 June 2026.
You do not need to collect both tranches on the same day. Log in to the official claim page and select the tranche you want to claim or retrieve. However, use the January 2026 vouchers before their 31 December 2026 expiry date.
The June 2026 vouchers have a longer claim and spending period. They remain valid until 31 December 2027. Unused voucher value cannot be exchanged for cash or renewed after the applicable expiry date.
When Could Eligible Singaporeans Claim SG60 Vouchers?
Eligible seniors could begin claiming their $800 SG60 Vouchers from 1 July 2025. Other eligible adult Singapore citizens could begin claiming their $600 SG60 Vouchers from 22 July 2025.
Both SG60 Voucher groups can continue to claim and spend their vouchers until 31 December 2026. A person who did not claim the vouchers in 2025 can still use the official SG60 claim page before the deadline, provided that person meets the eligibility requirements.

Half of the value is reserved for participating heartland merchants and hawkers. The remaining half is reserved for participating supermarkets. The two balances cannot normally be moved from one category to the other.
You may use multiple digital vouchers in one transaction. Choose the required value on your phone and present the QR code. Any amount selected beyond the purchase value is not refunded, so check the bill before confirming the voucher amount.

CDC digital vouchers cannot be used to buy lottery products, petrol, diesel, alcohol or cigarettes. They cannot be resold, converted into cash or exchanged for gift vouchers.

- Do not provide internet banking credentials to claim vouchers.
- Do not transfer money to unlock a government voucher.
- Do not install an unofficial mobile application.
- Do not claim through Telegram, Instagram advertisements or forwarded unknown links.
- Check that the SMS sender is “gov.sg” and verify the voucher domain before opening it.
