What Are SG60 Vouchers?
The SG60 Vouchers will be in the form of digital credits capable of being claimed by Singaporeans beginning July 2025. The seniors aged 60 and over are allowed to claim their vouchers first in July 1 and then eligible adults aged 21-59 claiming theirs in July 22. The vouchers will be valid till December 31, 2026, which gives a long time to spend. The vouchers are claimed digitally through the RedeemSG platform with the help of Singpass, and alternative ways of claiming are available at Community Centres in case the person faces inability to claim the vouchers digitally.
How Do They Work?
The Heartland merchants, hawker centres, and supermarkets that take the existing Community Development Council (CDC) vouchers can accept the SG60 Vouchers. The voucher distribution is divided into two segments, half the value to be spent at the hawkers and heartland merchants to promote business locally, and the remaining half to be spent at the supermarkets to enable citizens to shop at their convenience at the supermarkets. This flexibility on spending helps the small businesses as well as key consumer demands[1][3].
Benefits and Impact
This voucher scheme focuses on mass-based assistance of approximately three million adult Singaporeans and relieves their financial burden during increasing costs. Seniors are given a higher quantum because of their higher needs and this is a sum of 800. Not only does the SG60 initiative help people, it also encourages local businesses and the activity of the community, strengthening social bonds since people spend money on their daily purchases .
To take the vouchers and redeem them, you must present them to the cashiers at the cash back counter.
After claiming their vouchers online, eligible citizens get an SMS with a voucher link. In order to redeem they just present the QR code to merchants to scan. These are supported by Community Centers since they are easily accessible. Officials warn of the existence of scams and remind its citizens that the government will never demand transfers of money or banking information over the phone, so they should be careful.
