SINGAPORE - More than 450,000 Singaporeans aged 60 and above have claimed their SG60 vouchers since July 1.

This means more than 40 per cent of the 1.1 million seniors have already done so, said Senior Minister of State for Trade and Industry Low Yen Ling in a Facebook post on July 2.

The SG60 vouchers, which are a one-off initiative, were released on July 1 to celebrate Singapore’s 60th year of independence.

Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said in a social media post on July 1 that the vouchers are “our way of recognising the contributions of all Singaporeans in our nation-building journey”.

Those aged 60 and above can claim $800 worth of vouchers, while those aged between 21 and 59 will be able to claim $600 worth of vouchers from July 22.

Unlike the CDC vouchers issued to households, the SG60 vouchers are distributed to individual Singaporeans, and are part of a
broader SG60 package that PM Wong announced at Budget 2025.

Some three million adults will receive the vouchers, which are estimated to cost the Government $2.02 billion.

They can be used at all businesses that accept CDC vouchers and are valid until Dec 31, 2026.

Half of the vouchers – $400 for seniors and $300 for adults – can be used at participating supermarkets, and the other half at participating hawker stalls and heartland merchants.

In her post, Ms Low said seniors who need assistance claiming the vouchers digitally can seek help at community centres and SG Digital Community Hubs, of which there are 36 islandwide.

She added that official updates and information will be disseminated through

go.gov.sg/SG60vouchers

Ms Low also cautioned against falling for scams related to the vouchers, stressing that no banking information or financial transactions are required to claim them.

In the event of uncertainty, she advised the public to call the ScamShield helpline on 1799. If a scam is suspected, she said a police report should be made.

Pap cannot let this happen or else the cpfb will bankrupt.
Now pap can slowly payout the old fart using the young fart monies.
But if the figure goes down quickly, pap will need to payout in lump sum to all their familee.
