Singaporean HDB households can expect a comprehensive set of financial support measures in 2025. As part of the government’s ongoing efforts to ease the cost-of-living pressures and boost household resilience, a variety of rebates, vouchers, and bonus payouts will be rolled out from May 2025. Here’s a clear and updated guide detailing what each household can expect, who qualifies, and when to expect the payouts.
Overview of the 2025 Support Measures
In Budget 2025, the government announced enhanced support for HDB households, tailored to address inflation, energy costs, and general living expenses. This includes:
- U-Save Rebates
- Service & Conservancy Charges (S&CC) Rebates
- CDC Vouchers
- Assurance Package (AP) Payouts
- Cost-of-Living Special Payment
Each measure targets a different aspect of daily expenses and is structured to ensure that lower- and middle-income families benefit the most.
U-Save Rebates
The U-Save rebate is a utility offset provided under the GST Voucher scheme. In May 2025, eligible households will receive between $95 and $380 depending on flat type and income bracket. Larger households will continue to receive additional support under the U-Save Special Payment.
Who qualifies: Singaporean households in HDB flats who do not own private property and meet income criteria.
S&CC Rebates
These rebates help households offset monthly maintenance and service charges. Disbursed quarterly, the 2025 S&CC rebate provides between 1.5 to 4.5 months of charges, with higher support for smaller flat types.
Disbursement schedule for 2025:
- April
- July
- October
- January 2026
Note: Rebates are credited directly to town council accounts.
CDC Vouchers 2025
Each Singaporean household will receive $500 worth of Community Development Council (CDC) vouchers in 2025. The aim is to encourage spending within the local economy while offering relief on essentials. The voucher is split equally:
- $250 for heartland merchants and hawkers
- $250 for participating supermarkets
Households can claim these vouchers via the CDC website or at community centres starting from June 2025.
Assurance Package Payouts
The Assurance Package, first introduced to cushion the impact of the GST hike, continues in 2025 with significant cash payouts. Eligible adult Singaporeans will receive up to $850 depending on income and property ownership status. Seniors and those with lower incomes will receive more.
Eligibility criteria:
- Singapore citizens aged 21 and above
- Annual income of $100,000 or less
- Not owning more than one property
Payouts are scheduled for August 2025.
Cost-of-Living Special Payment
Announced as part of Budget 2025, this is a one-off cash support ranging from $200 to $400 for eligible Singaporeans. It’s aimed at providing short-term relief amid global economic uncertainty.
Who is eligible: Same criteria as the Assurance Package.
Date of payment: October 2025.
