Singapore to give $500 CDC vouchers in June ahead of 2027 timeline

Meanwhile, the 2026 Cost-of-Living Special Payment will get an extra $200.

Singapore will give out $500 CDC vouchers in June, earlier than the original January 2027 timeline, as part of support measures linked to the Middle East conflict.

Acting Transport Minister and Senior Minister of State for Finance Jeffrey Siow said that the government is tracking the prices of food and other essential goods and services closely.

“We know the situation has amplified cost-of-living anxieties for Singaporeans,” Siow added.

In addition, the government will raise the 2026 Cost-of-Living Special Payment by $200 for all eligible Singaporeans, bringing the total payout to between $400 and $600 per person.

About 2.4 million will receive the payment in cash, which will be disbursed in September.
