Statutory Overview & Government Framework

The scheme provides four distinct components: GSTV Cash (up to S$850 paid in August), CDC Vouchers (S$500 to S$800 digital vouchers per household per year), U-Save utility bill rebates (up to S$950/year credited to SP Services accounts), and MediSave top-ups (up to S$450/year for seniors). CDC Vouchers can be claimed digitally via Singpass at vouchers.cdc.gov.sg.
