SG60 Vouchers: Your Complete Guide to Claiming, Spending & Making the Most of Singapore’s Birthday Gift

As we mark Singapore’s 60th year of independence, 2025 is shaping up to be a milestone year for everyone living on this little red dot. Alongside spectacular celebrations, commemorative gifts, and special events, one of the most talked-about highlights is the rollout of the SG60 vouchers — a meaningful gesture that helps Singaporeans cope with daily expenses while supporting our local businesses.

So, what exactly are these vouchers? Who gets them, how do you claim them, and how can you use them wisely? This detailed guide will break it all down for you — plus, you’ll find practical tips to stretch every dollar and stay scam-smart.

📌 What Are SG60 Vouchers?

The SG60 vouchers are part of the wider SG60 Support Package, announced during Budget 2025. The aim is twofold: to celebrate our nation’s Diamond Jubilee and to provide practical support for households facing rising living costs.

About 3 million eligible Singaporeans will receive these vouchers — that’s almost every adult citizen aged 21 and above. You can use them on everyday needs like groceries and meals or spend them at your favourite heartland shops and hawker centres, keeping the community spirit alive.

This scheme builds on the well-loved CDC vouchers programme, which many households have used since the pandemic to help with daily expenses while supporting small local businesses.

🎈 Why Are We Getting SG60 Vouchers?

This year, the government wants every Singaporean to have the chance to share in the SG60 festivities — from the youngest newborns receiving the SG60 Baby Gift, to seniors enjoying an extra boost to their spending power. The SG60 vouchers are a practical way to say, “Thank you for growing Singapore together.”

By spending these vouchers at neighbourhood merchants and hawkers, we’re not only easing our own expenses — we’re also boosting our local economy. Each kopi bought at your neighbourhood stall or dinner at your favourite zi char helps the uncle and aunty who’ve served your family for years. That’s the spirit of SG60!

🏠 Who’s Eligible for SG60 Vouchers?

The eligibility is simple:

• You must be a Singapore citizen.

   

• You must be aged 21 or older in 2025.

   

There’s an extra treat for seniors too:

• If you’re aged 60 and above, you’ll receive $800 worth of SG60 vouchers.

   

• If you’re aged 21 to 59, you’ll receive $600 worth.

   

This tiered approach recognises the contributions of older Singaporeans and helps seniors with their daily needs.

🗓️ When and How Do You Claim Your SG60 Vouchers?

Here’s a quick overview:

The claim dates are staggered to give seniors priority and a smoother experience. If you have elderly parents or relatives, it’s a good idea to help them claim their vouchers early.

✅ How to Claim Online

The online process is straightforward:

1. Go to go.gov.sg/sg60v — this is the official claim website.

    

2. Log in securely with your Singpass.

    

3. Once you complete the claim, you’ll receive an SMS from gov.sg with a secure link to access your vouchers.

    

📬 How to Claim with Your Postcard

In addition to the online method, every eligible Singaporean will receive a special SG60 postcard in the mail. This postcard isn’t just functional — it’s also a keepsake, featuring artwork from local artists and a message from Prime Minister Lawrence Wong.

When your postcard arrives:

• Seniors can expect theirs from 1 July 2025.

   

• Everyone else will receive theirs from 22 July 2025 onwards.

   

Simply scan the QR code on the back of the postcard with your phone to start your claim.

🤝 Need Help? Claim In-Person

If you’re not digitally savvy or need extra support, just visit your nearest Community Centre/Club (CC) or SG Digital Community Hub. Friendly staff will guide you through the claim process and even help you print the vouchers if needed.

🛍️ Where Can You Spend Your SG60 Vouchers?

The SG60 vouchers work just like the CDC vouchers — easy, fuss-free, and heartland-friendly.

Where you can spend them:

• 50% of your vouchers can be used at participating hawkers, heartland merchants, and small local businesses.

   

• The other 50% can be spent at participating supermarkets.

   

This means you can use them for your weekly wet market trips, kopi breaks at your favourite coffee stall, or stocking up on groceries at the supermarket.

Pro tip: Before you head out, check which merchants accept SG60 vouchers at go.gov.sg/sg60voucher so you don’t waste time looking for participating stalls.

💡 8 Practical Tips to Make the Most of Your SG60 Vouchers

1️⃣ Prioritise Essentials

Stretch your vouchers by spending them on what you’d buy anyway — daily groceries, fresh produce, or household necessities. This way, you can save your actual cash for savings, bills, or emergencies.

2️⃣ Support the Little Guys

Try to use your vouchers at small local merchants rather than big chains when possible. Every dollar spent at a heartland shop helps keep our local communities thriving.

3️⃣ Shop Together

Coordinate with family or neighbours to pool your vouchers for bulk purchases or community meals. It can make shopping more fun — and sometimes cheaper!

4️⃣ Combine Deals

Some shops may run their own promotions alongside the voucher scheme. Stack store discounts, loyalty points, or credit card cashback where possible.

5️⃣ Help Seniors First

Make it a family affair — if you have elderly parents, relatives, or neighbours who aren’t comfortable online, offer to help them claim or bring them to your nearest CC.

6️⃣ Watch the Expiry Date

Mark your calendar: all SG60 vouchers expire on 31 December 2026. Avoid the end-of-year rush and spend them progressively.

7️⃣ Keep an Eye on New Merchants

New businesses join the scheme regularly. Check the official site for an updated list so you don’t miss new places to spend at.

8️⃣ Save Some for Festive Seasons

Consider using part of your vouchers for special occasions like Chinese New Year or Deepavali. A little extra cushion during the festive period is always handy.

⚠️ Stay Scam-Smart: Don’t Get Fooled

Where there are free vouchers, there will unfortunately be scammers. Protect yourself:
✅ You never need to pay any fees or share your bank details to claim SG60 vouchers.
✅ The government will only message you from the official gov.sg Sender ID.
✅ Be cautious with suspicious calls or messages asking for personal information.
✅ If in doubt, verify with the ScamShield Helpline at 1799.

Spread the word to your elderly relatives — they are often the biggest targets for scams.

🌟 SG60: More Than Just Vouchers

The SG60 vouchers are just one part of a bigger celebration. 2025 will see a whole calendar of SG60 events, special deals, and community activities. From the SG60 Baby Gift for newborns to an ActiveSG credit top-up to keep everyone active and healthy, it’s about celebrating together — as neighbours, families, and friends.
