Singapore households have access to government-issued CDC Vouchers in 2026 to help manage daily expenses, including groceries, food and other essential purchases. The $300 CDC Vouchers released in January 2026 are part of Singapore’s wider cost-of-living support programme and are available to all Singaporean households.
With October 2026 underway, households that have not used their January vouchers should check the remaining balance and expiry date. These vouchers are valid until December 31, 2026. The government has also introduced a separate $500 CDC Vouchers tranche in June 2026, while another $300 tranche is scheduled for January 2027.
Here is everything residents need to know about the Singapore $300 CDC Vouchers 2026, including eligibility, how to claim the vouchers, where to spend them and the latest payment update.

Who Is Eligible for the $300 CDC Vouchers?
The January 2026 CDC Vouchers are available to all Singaporean households. The scheme is not restricted to households below a particular income level.
This means eligible households can claim the vouchers regardless of whether their members are employed, retired or receiving other forms of government assistance.
However, the benefit is allocated per household, rather than separately to every individual living in Singapore. It should not be interpreted as a $300 cash payment for each family member.
Residents should use the official claiming process to access the vouchers allocated to their household. If several family members live together, they should coordinate their use of the household’s voucher allocation to avoid confusion.
The scheme is intended to provide practical assistance with daily purchases while encouraging spending at participating neighbourhood businesses.
How Is the $300 CDC Voucher Amount Divided?
The government has divided the $300 January voucher allocation into two equal parts to support different types of everyday spending.
1. $150 for hawkers and heartland merchants
The first portion can be used at participating hawker stalls and neighbourhood merchants. Depending on the participating business, this may help with food purchases and other eligible everyday shopping.
2. $150 for participating supermarkets
The second portion can be used at participating supermarkets. Households can use this allocation for eligible grocery and household purchases under the scheme’s rules.
The two portions are separate. The $150 allocated for supermarkets cannot simply be transferred to the hawker and heartland merchant portion, or vice versa.
Before making a purchase, residents should check whether the business accepts the relevant CDC Vouchers category. Participating merchants can also be identified through the official voucher platform.
How to Claim Singapore $300 CDC Vouchers 2026
The vouchers are distributed digitally, so residents do not need to collect a physical cash payment from a government office.
Follow these steps to claim the January 2026 vouchers:
- Visit the official CDC Vouchers claiming website.
- Select the CDC Vouchers Scheme 2026 (January) option.
- Log in using your Singpass credentials.
- Follow the instructions to access the vouchers allocated to your household.
- Save the voucher link and share it with household members when needed.
After a successful claim, an SMS from gov.sg is sent to the registered mobile number with a unique voucher link. The link can be shared among household members so they can use the vouchers conveniently.
The January 2026 vouchers have a different link from the May 2025 vouchers. Residents should therefore check that they are accessing the correct voucher tranche.
There is no need to download a separate mobile application simply to claim the digital vouchers.
When Do the January 2026 CDC Vouchers Expire?
The January 2026 CDC Vouchers are valid until December 31, 2026.
As of October 17, 2026, households have a limited period remaining to use any unused vouchers from this tranche.
Residents should check their available balance and plan their eligible purchases before the expiry date. They should not assume that unused January vouchers will automatically remain valid in 2027.
This expiry date applies to the January 2026 tranche. The separate $500 CDC Vouchers issued in June 2026 have a different validity period and are valid until December 31, 2027.
Checking the correct tranche is important because the government has issued multiple CDC Voucher allocations across different dates.
What About the $500 CDC Vouchers Issued in June 2026?
In addition to the January vouchers, the government brought forward a further $500 CDC Vouchers allocation to June 2026 to provide households with earlier assistance.
This tranche is separate from the $300 January allocation.
The June vouchers are divided equally between participating hawkers and heartland merchants and participating supermarkets. Each category receives $250.
Eligible households can claim the June vouchers through the same official CDC Vouchers platform. These vouchers are valid until December 31, 2027.
The combined value of the January and June 2026 allocations is $800 per eligible household. However, the vouchers have separate claim details and expiry dates, so residents should keep track of both allocations.
Is Another $300 CDC Voucher Payment Coming in January 2027?
Yes. The government announced a further $300 CDC Vouchers allocation for January 2027 under its second cost-of-living support package, announced on July 29, 2026.
This upcoming allocation is separate from the $300 vouchers released in January 2026.
The latest government information identifies January 2027 as the scheduled distribution period for the next $300 tranche. Eligible households should check the official CDC Vouchers website for the claiming instructions when that tranche becomes available.
Residents should not confuse the upcoming January 2027 allocation with the existing January 2026 vouchers that expire on December 31, 2026.

What If You Need Help Claiming the Vouchers?
Residents who have difficulty using Singpass or accessing digital vouchers can seek assistance at Community Centres or Community Clubs and SG Digital Community Hubs.
Support is available for seniors and residents who are less familiar with digital services. People without smartphones can also seek guidance through the available community support arrangements.
For further information, use the official CDC Vouchers website rather than links received from unknown sources.
The government will not ask residents to pay a processing fee to receive their CDC Vouchers or disclose their banking passwords to claim them.
Final Words
The Singapore $300 CDC Vouchers 2026 (January) provide eligible Singaporean households with digital vouchers for everyday spending. The allocation is split equally between participating hawkers and heartland merchants and participating supermarkets.
The main point for residents to remember is that the January 2026 vouchers expire on December 31, 2026. A separate $500 tranche was issued in June 2026, and another $300 allocation is scheduled for January 2027.
Households should check their remaining balance, use the correct voucher link and rely on official government websites for the latest information. These vouchers are intended to reduce everyday expenses, but they are not unrestricted cash payments and must be used according to the scheme’s rules.
