The Singapore $500 CDC Vouchers 2025 scheme continues to support households with rising living expenses. As part of the Assurance Package, every eligible household receives $300 in January and an additional $500 from May 2025, bringing the total to $800 for the year. These vouchers can be used across hawker stalls, heartland shops and supermarkets, helping families reduce daily spending throughout the year.

Overview of the $500 CDC Vouchers Scheme
The CDC Vouchers initiative is designed to support Singaporean households while boosting local businesses. The programme is digital and household based, allowing one member to claim and share the unique voucher link with others in the household. The May 2025 tranche provides $500 which must be redeemed before 31 December 2025. The voucher value is split between supermarkets and heartland merchants so families can use it for daily meals, groceries and essential purchases.

How to Redeem the $500 CDC Vouchers
Redeeming the vouchers is simple and takes only a few minutes. One household member can complete the entire process using Singpass. After logging in and claiming, the system sends a unique voucher link via SMS. This link can be shared with other household members so they can generate QR codes and spend the vouchers at participating outlets. For households needing support, help is available at any Community Centre across the country.
Where You Can Spend the Vouchers
The $500 May 2025 vouchers are evenly split into two parts. The first part is for hawker stalls and heartland merchants while the second part is for participating supermarkets. This ensures families can cover both daily meals and regular grocery needs. Participating shops can be identified through the official outlet maps or by looking for the CDC Vouchers decal displayed at stalls and stores.
Important Rules to Remember When Using the Vouchers
Using CDC Vouchers comes with a few simple rules that help ensure smooth transactions and prevent misuse. Understanding these rules helps families get the full benefit of the vouchers without losing any value.
• No change is given when paying with vouchers
• Use the correct category for hawkers or supermarkets
• Only share your link with household members
• QR codes must be scanned before payment confirmation
• All unused vouchers expire on 31 December 2025
Tips to Maximise Your CDC Voucher Savings
Households can stretch their voucher value by planning purchases and using the vouchers across routine expenses. Supermarket promotions can be combined with voucher payments depending on store policy. Families can plan a fixed number of weekly hawker meals paid with vouchers. Comparing prices across neighbourhood shops can also help identify better deals. Sharing the voucher link ensures every household member can help use the balance before it expires.
