Whether you’re budgeting utilities or grocery bills, this article outlines everything you need to know—from U-Save rebates and CDC vouchers to new cost-of-living payouts and bonus cash for eligible households.
Full Overview of Support Measures in 2025
The following financial benefits are part of the support framework for HDB households in 2025:
-
U-Save Rebates

These schemes are tailored to benefit Singaporeans based on housing type, income level, and family size.
U-Save Rebates for Utility Relief
Eligible HDB households will receive rebates ranging from $95 to $380 starting in May 2025. The amount depends on flat size and household composition. Larger families will also benefit from additional support via the U-Save Special Payment.
Service & Conservancy Charges (S&CC) Rebates
Disbursed quarterly, these rebates help cover maintenance and service fees paid to town councils. Smaller flat types receive greater support—up to 4.5 months of waived fees annually.
Disbursement months:

April 2025
-
July 2025
-
October 2025

January 2026
The rebates are credited directly to each household’s town council account.

$250 for local hawkers and heartland merchants

$250 for supermarket spending (e.g., FairPrice, Sheng Siong)
Claiming is made simple through Singpass or at local community centres.
Assurance Package Payouts
Under the extended Assurance Package, adult Singaporeans may receive up to $850 in August 2025. This support helps manage the effects of the GST hike and rising expenses.

FAQs
How do I claim my CDC vouchers for 2025?
You can redeem your vouchers starting June 2025 via the official CDC website using your Singpass or by visiting a community centre.
Can I receive both the U-Save rebate and the Assurance Package?
Yes. If you meet the eligibility criteria for both, you’ll receive them independently. There is no conflict between the two.
Are private property owners eligible for these benefits?
Generally, no. Most schemes, including the U-Save and Assurance Package, exclude owners of more than one property or private homeowners.
Will receiving these benefits affect my other government support?
Not at all. These rebates and payouts do not impact your eligibility for other aid programs like Silver Support or ComCare.
What should I do if I miss a payout?
Missed payments are usually credited retroactively. You should contact the respective agency through the official support portal to resolve the issue.
