Good news for Singapore’s senior citizens! Starting July 1, 2025, eligible seniors across the island will be able to claim up to S$800 worth of SG60 Vouchers as part of a major national celebration. This generous gift comes as part of Singapore’s 60th birthday (SG60) and aims to honour the pioneer generation who helped build the nation.
Wondering how it works? Who qualifies? Where to redeem? We’ve got you covered with everything you need to know about this special one-time voucher payout.
What Are SG60 Vouchers?
The SG60 Vouchers are a government-issued benefit introduced in 2025 to celebrate Singapore’s 60 years of independence. These vouchers are meant to provide financial relief, especially to seniors, while also encouraging spending at local businesses.
Each eligible senior citizen will receive up to S$800 in digital vouchers, which can be used at a wide range of participating retailers, hawker stalls, supermarkets, and more.
When Will the Vouchers Be Available?
Mark your calendar:
✅ Starting Date: July 1, 2025
✅ Mode: Digital vouchers (redeemable via Singpass or CDC Vouchers platform)
✅ Validity: Likely valid for 6 to 12 months, depending on merchant conditions
While seniors aged 60 and above will start receiving their SG60 vouchers from July 1, adults aged 21 and above will receive S$600 in a separate batch of vouchers beginning July 22, 2025.
