What Are CDC Vouchers?
CDC Vouchers are government-issued digital vouchers distributed through Community Development Councils. They are designed to support households while encouraging spending at heartland merchants and hawkers.
The scheme has been rolled out multiple times, especially during periods of rising living costs.
Who Is Eligible for the January 2026 CDC Vouchers?
While final eligibility criteria have not yet been published, previous rounds included:
- Singapore citizen households
- No income cap
- One allocation per household
If the same structure applies, most households will receive the vouchers automatically.

In earlier distributions, CDC vouchers were divided between:
- Heartland merchants and hawkers

This split helps smaller businesses while ensuring families can use part of the vouchers for groceries. The exact breakdown for 2026 will be confirmed closer to the release date.
