To redeem a CDC voucher or an SG60 voucher in 2026 you go to the right RedeemSG link, log in with Singpass, pick the supermarket or heartland wallet, and show the QR code at the till. The two schemes use the same machinery, so once you can redeem one you can redeem the other. The catch is the money: an adult holds $600 in SG60 vouchers and a senior holds $800, both expiring on 31 December 2026, sitting on top of the household's separate CDC vouchers. That is real cash you forfeit if you let it lapse. This guide walks the exact steps to claim and spend every dollar before the deadline.
People mix these up because they redeem the same way, but they are separate amounts with separate owners. CDC vouchers are paid to the household: every household with at least one Singapore Citizen gets $300 in the January 2026 tranche and $500 in the June 2026 tranche, no means test. SG60 vouchers are paid to the person: each Singapore Citizen aged 21 to 59 in 2025 gets $600, and each citizen aged 60 and above gets $800, as a one-off to mark Singapore's 60th year.
That distinction matters for how much a family is actually holding. A couple in their 30s living with one retired parent has the household's CDC balance plus $600 plus $600 plus $800 in personal SG60 vouchers. Each adult claims their own SG60 amount under their own Singpass, while one person claims the shared CDC pot for the whole address.
Both schemes run through the same RedeemSG system and spend at the same shops, which is why the steps below cover both. If you only want the household CDC side in detail, our CDC vouchers guide breaks down the tranches, eligibility and donation window. For the plain-English definition of the scheme, see the CDC voucher glossary entry.
| Feature | CDC vouchers | SG60 vouchers |
|---|---|---|
| Who gets it | Each household with a citizen | Each citizen aged 21+ |
| Amount | $300 (Jan) + $500 (Jun) per household | $600 adults, $800 seniors per person |
| Owner | Shared across the household | Individual |
| Claim link | go.gov.sg/cdcv | go.gov.sg/sg60v |
| Recurs? | Twice a year | One-off for SG60 |
| Expiry | Jan: 31 Dec 2026; Jun: 31 Dec 2027 | 31 December 2026 |
Add the two schemes together and most households are sitting on more than they realise. Personal SG60 vouchers alone put $600 in the hands of every working-age citizen and $800 in the hands of every senior. The Government set aside about $2.02 billion for the SG60 package, reaching roughly three million Singaporeans, so this is one of the larger one-off handouts in recent memory rather than a token gesture.
Each voucher amount is split in half. Half can only be spent at participating supermarkets, the other half only at participating heartland merchants and hawkers. Spending one half does not free up the other, so an adult's $600 is really $300 of supermarket credit and $300 of heartland credit that you redeem at different counters.
The numbers below are the official figures as of June 2026. Amounts are set by Budget and can change, so confirm the live balance in your own RedeemSG link before planning a big shop around it.
| Voucher | Who | Total | Supermarket half | Heartland and hawker half |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SG60 (adult) | Citizen aged 21-59 in 2025 | $600 | $300 | $300 |
| SG60 (senior) | Citizen aged 60+ in 2025 | $800 | $400 | $400 |
| CDC June 2026 | Household with a citizen | $500 | $250 | $250 |
| CDC January 2026 | Household with a citizen | $300 | $150 | $150 |
Redeeming is a two-part job: claim the link once, then spend off it as often as you like until the balance runs out or the deadline hits. There is no app to install. Everything runs in your phone browser through a RedeemSG link.
To claim the household CDC vouchers for the June 2026 tranche:
SG60 vouchers redeem the exact same way, with one difference: the link is personal, so every eligible adult claims under their own Singpass rather than one person claiming for the household. Seniors born in 1965 or earlier could claim from 1 July 2025; adults born between 1966 and 2004 from 22 July 2025. If you have not claimed yet, the link is still live until the 31 December 2026 expiry.
The redemption steps:
Deleting the SMS does not delete your vouchers. Go back to the same go.gov.sg link, log in with Singpass, and the link is sent again with your balance untouched. The credit lives against your account, not the message.
No smartphone or no Singpass? Bring your NRIC to any Community Centre or Club, where staff can print your vouchers for you. The CDC vouchers helpline (People's Association) is 6225 5322. For Singpass login trouble, the Singpass helpdesk is 6335 3533. A family member can also claim on your behalf with a completed authorisation form and supporting documents at a CC.
SG60 and CDC vouchers spend at the same merchants, because SG60 vouchers were deliberately plugged into the existing CDC network rather than built fresh. The supermarket half works at eight chains: Ang Mo Supermarket, Cold Storage, Giant, HAO Mart, NTUC FairPrice, Prime Supermarket, Sheng Siong and U Stars. The heartland half works at more than 24,000 hawker stalls, coffeeshops, minimarts, clinics, salons, opticians, pet shops and other neighbourhood businesses.
Look for the decal at the door. A teal CDC Voucher decal means the shop takes the heartland half; a yellow CDC Voucher decal means it takes the supermarket half. To plan a trip, the official map at go.gov.sg/cdcvouchers shows participating shops near you.
A few limits trip people up. Vouchers cannot be used for online or e-commerce purchases, only in person. They cannot buy lottery products, petrol or diesel, alcohol or cigarettes. They cannot be exchanged for cash, and there is no cash change: if your $40 buy is paid with a $50 selection, the system only deducts $40 and the $10 stays in your wallet. If your bill is larger than your balance, you top up the difference in cash or card.
When you hold several voucher pots at once, the order you spend them in is free money or wasted money. The SG60 vouchers and the January 2026 CDC tranche both expire on 31 December 2026, while the June 2026 CDC tranche runs all the way to 31 December 2027. So clear the SG60 and January CDC balances first and let the June CDC balance ride.
A household could realistically be holding the June CDC $500, plus two adults' $600 SG60 vouchers, plus an $800 senior SG60 voucher. That is $2,500 of redeemable credit across one address, half of it on a 31 December 2026 clock. Set a calendar reminder for early December and check each link's balance.
Treat the vouchers as a straight offset to spending you would do anyway: groceries on the supermarket half, hawker meals and the minimart on the heartland half. Used that way they free up the same amount of cash for savings or debt. If you redirect that freed cash, even a one-off windfall compounds. Our compound interest calculator shows what a few hundred dollars grows into over a few years, and the personal budget calculator helps you slot the saving into a monthly plan instead of letting it leak into extra spending.
Free money draws phishing. Scammers send fake SMS and chat-app links copying the official wording, then harvest your Singpass details to drain the vouchers or your bank account. The defence is simple and worth repeating before you tap anything.
The real SMS comes from the sender ID 'gov.sg', and the genuine link always begins https://voucher.redeem.gov.sg/. The only places to start a claim are go.gov.sg/cdcv and go.gov.sg/sg60v. The Government never charges a fee and never asks for your Singpass password, OTP or bank details to release vouchers. Any message that adds urgency, asks for payment, or points to an unfamiliar address is a scam.
SG60 and CDC vouchers are two pieces of a wider set of payouts in 2026, and it pays to know which is which so you do not miss one. The GST Voucher scheme pays cash and MediSave top-ups to lower-income citizens and is separate from anything covered here; our GST Voucher guide explains who qualifies. Families with young children also have the Baby Bonus payouts on a different schedule again.
None of these affect each other. You can hold SG60 vouchers, both CDC tranches, GST Vouchers and Baby Bonus at the same time. The common thread is that they are easy to overlook and most run on a deadline, so the win is simply claiming what you are owed and spending the time-limited pots before they expire.
Open go.gov.sg/cdcv, log in with Singpass and claim the June 2026 tranche. You get an SMS link from 'gov.sg'. At a shop, open the link, pick the supermarket or heartland wallet and amount, and show the QR code for the cashier to scan. The amount is deducted instantly.
No. CDC vouchers go to the household ($300 in January and $500 in June 2026), while SG60 vouchers go to each individual citizen ($600 for adults, $800 for seniors). They redeem the same way through RedeemSG and spend at the same shops, but they are separate balances.
Singapore Citizens aged 21 to 59 in 2025 get $600 each, and citizens aged 60 and above get $800 each. Every SG60 voucher expires on 31 December 2026, and any unused balance after that date lapses and cannot be reinstated.
Both spend at the same merchants. The supermarket half works at eight chains including FairPrice, Sheng Siong, Giant and Cold Storage. The heartland half works at over 24,000 hawkers, coffeeshops, clinics, salons and minimarts. Check go.gov.sg/cdcvouchers for shops near you.
Vouchers cannot be used for online or e-commerce purchases, and they cannot buy lottery products, petrol or diesel, alcohol or cigarettes. They also cannot be exchanged for cash, and merchants do not give cash change if your purchase is smaller than the amount you selected.
Nothing is lost. Return to the same go.gov.sg link, log in with Singpass, and the link is resent with your balance unchanged because the credit is tied to your account, not the message. If you have no smartphone or Singpass, bring your NRIC to any Community Centre to get the vouchers printed.
Yes. A family member or authorised person can claim or spend for you by bringing a completed authorisation form and supporting documents to a Community Centre or Club. This is the proper route for elderly or non-Singpass users; never share your Singpass login to let someone do it.
