What is the CDC Vouchers Scheme 2024?
From 3 January 2024, each Singaporean household can claim $500 in CDC Vouchers 2024 digitally at go.gov.sg/cdcv. These vouchers are part of the Government’s continuing efforts to help Singaporean households cope with daily expenses. The vouchers were announced by Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Mr Lawrence Wong as part of Budget 2022 and Budget 2023, and additional support from the $1.1 billion Cost-of-Living Package in September 2023.
The value of the vouchers will be allocated equally (i.e., $250 each) to be spent at participating heartland merchants and hawkers, or at participating supermarkets. Singaporean Households have until 31 December 2024 to claim and spend their CDC Vouchers 2024.
What are the key benefits of signing up?
With the roll-out of the CDC Vouchers Scheme, participating merchants and hawkers can expect the following:
Next-day payout*
No Commissions or fees
No need to count physical vouchers
*Merchant would need to ensure bank account/PayNow proxy (handphone, NRIC or UEN) provided to PA are accurate in order to achieve the reimbursement timeline.
To enable this, merchants will use the RedeemSG Merchant app to easily accept vouchers and tally transactions. CDC Ambassadors will assist participating merchants and hawkers to successfully onboard the CDC Vouchers Scheme.
What are the steps to come onboard the scheme?
There are two (2) key stages of participation:
1) Stage 1 - Register your interest with
the CDC Ambassadors, or
b) the Digital Ambassadors from the SG Digital Office,
c) register your interest with your CDC (https://vouchers.cdc.gov.sg/merchants/info/#merchantreginterest)
2) Stage 2 - A CDC Ambassador will get in touch with you for the sign up and onboarding. Training will be provided during the onboarding process.
I was approached by individuals claiming to be Ambassadors for the CDC Vouchers Scheme. How can I verify that they are authorised personnel?
To assist merchants in the registration of interests and onboarding process, IMDA's Digital Ambassadors and CDC Ambassadors are deployed island-wide. The IMDA's Digital Ambassadors can be identified by the uniform and button badge that they will be wearing during deployment and can be identified by the official lanyard and button badge during deployment as shown below.
How will customers know that they can use the vouchers at my place of business?
All participating merchants and hawkers will be featured on go.gov.sg/cdcvouchersmerchants so residents can conveniently search for shops nearest to them. You are required to prominently display the CDC Voucher decal at their stall / shop front for visibility to customers.
