In celebration of Singapore’s 60th year of independence, the government has announced the introduction of SG60 Vouchers, a key component of the SG60 Package unveiled in Budget 2025. From 1 July 2025, Singaporeans aged 60 and above can claim $800 in vouchers, whilst those aged 21 to 59 will receive $600 starting 22 July 2025. This initiative recognises the contributions of all Singaporeans and aims to share the benefits of the nation’s progress.
The vouchers, which can be used at businesses accepting CDC Vouchers, are split equally for spending at heartland merchants, hawkers, and supermarkets. The staggered release ensures seniors receive timely assistance. The initiative is led by Low Yen Ling, Senior Minister of State for Trade and Industry & Culture, alongside other district mayors and government agencies.
The SG60 Vouchers also feature six specially designed postcards by artists with different abilities, reflecting the inclusive spirit of the celebrations. Assistance for claiming the digital vouchers will be available at Community Centres and SG Digital Community Hubs, with volunteers from public agencies and educational institutions providing support.
The scheme not only honours citizens but also supports local businesses by encouraging spending at neighbourhood shops and eateries. The vouchers have an extended validity until 31 December 2026, allowing Singaporeans to use them for daily needs whilst bolstering the local economy. Residents are urged to remain vigilant against scams, with official updates available on the SG60 Vouchers website.
