Singapore turns 60 in 2025, and the nation is marking the milestone with a gift that every adult citizen can appreciate the SG60 Vouchers. More than just financial support, these vouchers symbolise Singapore’s journey of progress, resilience, and community spirit.
Starting from July 2025, Singaporeans aged 21 and above will be eligible to claim vouchers worth either S$800 or S$600, depending on their age group. This initiative recognises the contributions of seniors while extending benefits to all adults.
Who Will Benefit?
- Seniors (60 years and above, born in 1965 or earlier): S$800
- Adults (21 to 59 years, born between 1966 and 2004): S$600
This tiered approach ensures that older Singaporeans, who have lived through the nation’s growth story, receive a little extra recognition.
Claiming Your SG60 Vouchers
The distribution will be carried out in two phases to ensure a smooth rollout:
- From 1 July 2025: Seniors aged 60 and above can begin claiming.
- From 22 July 2025: All other eligible adults (21–59 years) may claim.
To claim, Singaporeans simply log on to go.gov.sg/sg60v with their Singpass from 10am onwards on their respective start date. Once verified, a voucher link will be sent via SMS from gov.sg. This link is unique, secure, and should begin with https://voucher.redeem.gov.sg.
For those less familiar with digital platforms, Community Centres/Clubs will offer in-person assistance. Family members may also claim on behalf of someone who is unable to do so, provided they bring the necessary documents.
Where and How Can the Vouchers Be Used?
Like the familiar CDC Vouchers, SG60 Vouchers are easy to use. They are split evenly into two portions:
- Half for spending at hawkers and heartland merchants
- Half for use at participating supermarkets
This arrangement helps both small local businesses and households buying everyday necessities. Participating shops and stalls will display the official decal showing they accept the vouchers.
Redemption is straightforward simply show the QR code (from the SMS link) to the merchant at checkout. No additional app is required.
Validity Period
The vouchers are valid until 31 December 2026, giving Singaporeans more than 17 months to use them. This extended window allows families and individuals to spread out their spending without feeling rushed.
A Special Touch: The SG60 Postcard
Every eligible citizen will also receive a beautifully designed SG60 postcard in the mail. Featuring familiar landmarks like the Singapore River and Jewel Changi Airport’s Rain Vortex, the postcard is both a keepsake and a practical aid.
It includes a QR code that links directly to the digital vouchers, making the claiming process even more convenient. The artwork, created by artists of diverse abilities, reflects Singapore’s inclusivity. Each postcard will also carry a message from Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, commemorating this milestone.
More Than Just Vouchers
Beyond financial relief, the SG60 Vouchers represent a collective celebration of six decades of independence. They serve as a reminder that Singapore’s success is shared by all, and that progress should always include support for those who helped build the nation.
As the country steps into its seventh decade, these vouchers are not just about spending they’re about honouring the past, supporting the present, and investing in the future.
