Cost of living still biting? The CDC Vouchers return again in January 2026, and this time, every household gets S$300.
What Are CDC Vouchers, Really?
CDC Vouchers are digital credits given to households to offset daily expenses.
You can spend them at:
- Hawker stalls
- Wet markets
- Heartland shops
- Major supermarkets
Introduced in 2021, this scheme has become one of the most practical cost-of-living supports for Singaporeans — especially for food and essentials.
What’s New for January 2026?
The process stays simple.
You’ll receive S$300 worth of vouchers, available from January 2026, directly through your Singpass account.
No need to rush or queue physically.
Everything is digital and straightforward.

Why the Government Is Doing This Again
Honestly speaking, vouchers work.
They give immediate relief for groceries and meals.
At the same time, they push spending back into neighbourhood shops instead of overseas platforms.
Hawkers and small businesses see more walk-ins.
Residents stretch their budgets further.
It’s a simple cycle that helps both sides.
Extra Help Beyond CDC Vouchers
On top of the S$300 vouchers, households will also receive:
- U-Save utility rebates to reduce electricity, water, and gas bills
- Service & Conservancy Charges (S&CC) rebates for HDB residents
Put together, this helps lower monthly fixed expenses, not just food costs.
Public Reaction So Far
Many families welcome the January timing.
It helps with:
- Festive spending
- School-related expenses
- Stocking up on essentials early in the year
Some households even pool vouchers across family members to stretch value further — while heartland shops benefit from steadier spending.
Worth it or not?
For most Singaporeans, it’s still a clear yes.
