What Is in the 2025 Support Package
The 2025 measures draw from the Assurance Package enhancements and the permanent GST Voucher scheme to help with cost-of-living pressures. All households receive S$800 in CDC Vouchers within the 2025 calendar year, and eligible adults receive GSTV – Cash in August 2025, up to S$850 depending on income and property criteria. Additional utilities support (U-Save) under Budget 2025 complements these measures.
CDC Vouchers 2025: Who Gets Them and How They Work
Who gets them: Every Singaporean household. No application is required beyond claiming the vouchers online.
How much and when:
- S$300 was available from 3 January 2025.
- S$500 was available from 13 May 2025.
Both the January and May 2025 tranches expire on 31 December 2025.
How to claim: One household member logs in at go.gov.sg/cdcv with Singpass and receives a unique SMS voucher link from gov.sg, which can be shared with other household members. If needed, community centres can assist residents without smartphones.
Where to spend: Vouchers are accepted at participating hawkers, heartland merchants, and supermarkets. Look for the CDC Voucher decal or search participating outlets on the official site.
Voucher denominations and usage rules: Vouchers come in fixed S$2, S$5, and S$10 denominations for hawkers/shops, and S$10 denominations suited to supermarket purchases. No change is given, so choose denominations close to your bill amount. Merchants scan your voucher QR code at checkout.
GST Voucher (GSTV) – Cash 2025: Amount, Eligibility, and Payout Process
How much: Up to S$850 in August 2025 for eligible adult Singaporeans, with the exact amount determined by Assessable Income and Annual Value of your home.
Who qualifies:
- Citizen residing in Singapore
- Age 21 or above in 2025
- Assessable Income (YA2024) not above S$39,000
- Annual Value of home not above S$31,000 as at 31 December 2024
- Not more than one property owned
Eligibility is assessed automatically using government records; no application is necessary.
When and how it is paid:
- If you have PayNow-NRIC, cash is credited from 6 August 2025.
- If you have bank crediting, payouts are from 15 August 2025.
- If you use GovCash, payouts are from 22 August 2025.
If you have not previously signed up, follow the deadlines shown on the official schedule to receive payment.
Putting It Together: Reaching S$1,650 in 2025
- S$800 universal CDC Vouchers for every household in 2025.
- Up to S$850 in GSTV – Cash in August 2025 for eligible adult Singaporeans.
A household with an eligible adult can therefore receive S$1,650 in combined support across vouchers and cash in 2025.
Practical Tips to Maximise the Support
- Claim early and plan spend: Because both 2025 voucher tranches expire on 31 December 2025, pace your supermarket and hawker purchases so you do not leave value unused.
- Match denominations to bill size: Use S$2/S$5/S$10 vouchers at hawkers and shops to minimise forfeited change.
- Secure your voucher link: Share the SMS link only with household members you trust; spent vouchers cannot be reinstated.
- Activate PayNow-NRIC: This typically gets your GSTV – Cash earlier in August and reduces administrative delays.
- Check other 2025 measures: Budget 2025 also enhances U-Save and other components; review what else you may receive.
