When can I claim a 2026 CDC voucher?

Claim period for CDC Vouchers 2026

The January 2026 tranche of CDC Vouchers became available for claim on Friday, 2 January 2026, as reported by Channel NewsAsia (Singapore news outlet). Each Singaporean household can claim $300 digitally through the official portal at go.gov.sg/cdcv (government redirect). The vouchers are valid until 31 December 2026. After that date, any unused balance is forfeited.

The upshot

Households who miss the deadline lose the full $300 – the clock is fixed, no extensions have been announced.

Claim period for SG60 Vouchers

SG60 Vouchers follow the same claim window: from 2 January to 31 December 2026. Eligible adult Singapore Citizens born between 1966 and 2004 can claim $600 each. The official source for eligibility is the CDC Vouchers Scheme (official government portal), which confirms no claim is possible after 31 December.

The pattern: both schemes run in parallel with identical deadlines, simplifying household planning.

Who is eligible for SG60 $800 vouchers?

SG60 Voucher eligibility criteria

  • $600 per adult Singapore Citizen born between 1966 and 2004 (CDC Vouchers Scheme FAQ – official government portal)
  • No income or asset test – purely based on birth year and citizenship

CDC Voucher eligibility overview

  • $300 per Singaporean household – no age or income conditions (CDC Vouchers Scheme – official site)
  • One claim per household; any adult member can do it using Singpass
Why this matters

The $600 SG60 amount is fixed per eligible adult, not per household – a family with two eligible adults receives $1,200 combined, while a single eligible adult receives $600.

How to claim a 2026 CDC voucher?

Step-by-step: Claiming CDC Voucher on signup.redeem.gov.sg

  1. Go to signup.redeem.gov.sg (official claim portal).
  2. Log in with your Singpass or mobile number.
  3. Select the voucher type and amount you want to use (e.g., $150 for heartland merchants, $150 for supermarkets).
  4. Submit – the voucher link is sent via SMS from gov.sg to your registered mobile number (CDC Vouchers Scheme – official government portal).
  5. Each household can claim only once.

Required information for claiming

You need a Singpass account or a mobile phone number that can receive SMS. If you don’t have a smartphone or Singpass, visit your nearest Community Centre or Community Club for in-person help (CDC Vouchers Scheme – official government portal). The PA Contact Centre hotline (6225 5322) is also available Monday to Sunday, 8am–6pm (closed public holidays).

The catch: no mobile app is required – everything happens via SMS link and QR code.

How do I redeem CDC vouchers 2026?

Redeeming at physical merchants

At checkout, open the voucher link on your phone and show the QR code to the merchant. The system deducts the chosen amount from your voucher balance. Vouchers can be used in partial payments – no change is given, but the remainder stays for later use (CDC Vouchers Scheme – official government portal).

Redeeming online or via participating platforms

Not all merchants support online redemption; check the merchant locator at gowhere.gov.sg/cdcvouchers (Singapore government directory) to see which merchants accept CDC Vouchers for online orders. The list may change during the year.

  • $150 can be spent at participating hawkers and heartland merchants
  • $150 can be spent at participating supermarkets (CDC Vouchers Scheme – official site)
What to watch

The $300 is split into two $150 buckets – you cannot use the supermarket allocation at a hawker stall, even if the bucket has leftover funds.

How do I retrieve my CDC voucher?

Retrieving lost voucher link

If you lose the SMS with your voucher link, revisit go.gov.sg/cdcv (government redirect) and log in with Singpass. The system will resend the link to your registered mobile number (CDC Vouchers Scheme FAQ – official government portal). You can also use the ‘Resend Link’ option on signup.redeem.gov.sg.

Accessing voucher via Go.gov.sg

Bookmark the link after receiving it – it remains active throughout 2026. The same link can be shared among household members for shared spending (Channel NewsAsia – Singapore news outlet).

For households without a smartphone, Community Clubs provide printed QR codes as a fallback.
