Households to receive extra $300 in CDC vouchers in January 2027

The support comes under a second support package worth around $900m.

Every Singaporean household will receive an additional $300 in CDC vouchers in January 2027, Second Minister for Finance Jeffrey Siow announced.

The support comes under a second government support package worth around $900m in response to the continuing conflict in the Middle East.

The vouchers will be provided on top of the $500 in CDC vouchers brought forward to June 2026. The government will also enhance the U-Save rebates scheduled for October and January 2027. 

Including the rebates distributed in April and July, HDB households will receive between $110 and $190 in each quarter of the current financial year.

“This amount should fully offset the impact of higher utility bills for most households living in a 4-room or smaller HDB flat until March next year,” Siow said.

In addition, lower-income households will receive additional assistance through ComCare Interim Assistance, with monthly payouts increasing to at least $250 for up to three months. Higher amounts will be available to those with greater needs.

“We will also be more flexible on the eligibility of ComCare Interim Assistance, so more households can qualify for support,” he added.

The $900m package also includes financing, cash grants, and rental assistance for businesses.

Together with the $1b assistance package announced in April, the government has committed around $2b in additional support, excluding measures introduced under Budget 2026.

Earlier measures include a $400 to $600 Cost-of-Living Special Payment scheduled for September.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
