SINGAPORE: Eligible residents have only a short time left to claim their S$300 CDC voucher! The deadline is set for December 31, 2024, as part of the government's crucial support package aimed at alleviating the financial strain caused by rising living costs.

This initiative is a segment of a larger relief effort known as the Assurance Package, announced in the 2024 Budget by Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Lawrence Wong. The package includes a total of S$800 in vouchers available throughout the year, with the initial S$500 voucher rolled out in January 2024 and the latest S$300 voucher distributed in June. Don't miss out on this opportunity to give your household a financial boost!

The CDC vouchers can be redeemed at a variety of local merchants, including popular hawkers, supermarkets such as FairPrice, Cold Storage, and Giant Singapore, as well as heartland merchants selling essential items.

Additionally, the government has previously launched a Cost-of-Living Package in September 2023, which allocates S$1.1 billion to provide further assistance to households. This demonstrates a comprehensive approach to address the economic challenges faced by many Singaporeans today.

Claiming the vouchers is an easy process. Just visit go.gov.sg/cdcv from any device, log in with your Singpass account, and follow the instructions. Once claimed, the digital vouchers can be used by every member of your household. Just remember, the digital QR code needs to be presented at the point of sale in participating shops. You can even combine multiple vouchers for those bigger shopping trips.

However, be aware that any leftover balance from the vouchers is not refundable and they cannot be used for specific restricted items like alcohol, petrol, or lottery tickets.

And there's more good news! Households can take advantage of additional promotions at supermarkets to maximize the value of their vouchers:

Promotions:

• FairPrice: Spend S$50 and receive S$4 in return vouchers (valid until January 1, 2025).

• Cold Storage: Spend S$80 and get S$8 in return vouchers (valid until January 1, 2025).

• Giant Singapore: Spend S$60 to earn S$6 in return vouchers (valid until January 1, 2025).
