In 2025, Singapore will celebrate its 60th year of independence with a special nationwide initiative – the SG60 Vouchers. These vouchers are not just a celebration but also a form of financial support to help citizens manage daily expenses.
With simple claim steps, flexible usage, and a long validity period, the scheme ensures that everyone can benefit. Let’s explore the full details about eligibility, payout dates, claim process, and usage guide.
Eligibility For SG60 Vouchers
The government has kept the eligibility rules simple and fair. All Singapore citizens aged 21 and above in 2025 qualify for the vouchers. To make sure seniors, who often face higher living and medical costs, receive more support, the distribution is tiered by age:
| Age Group | Birth Year | Voucher Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Seniors (60 years & above) | Born in 1965 or earlier | S$800 |
| Adults (21–59 years) | Born between 1966–2004 | S$600 |
This age-based approach ensures both younger adults and seniors benefit, with extra help for the elderly.
Claim Schedule And Process
The claim process has been divided into two clear phases:
- From 1 July 2025 → Seniors aged 60 and above can start claiming.
- From 22 July 2025 → Adults aged 21 to 59 can claim.
All claims must be made online through the official portal go.gov.sg/sg60v starting at 10 AM on the respective dates. Once the claim is approved, recipients will receive a secure SMS with a voucher link.
Assistance For Offline Claims
Not everyone is comfortable with online processes. To support those who struggle with digital claims, Community Centres and Clubs will provide assistance.
- Trained staff will help citizens complete the process.
- Family members or caregivers can also assist, provided they carry the necessary identification and authorisation.
This ensures that no eligible citizen is left out.
How SG60 Vouchers Can Be Used
The government has designed the vouchers to support both families and local businesses. The vouchers are split into two equal portions:
- 50% → Can be spent at hawker centres and neighbourhood shops.
- 50% → Can be used at major supermarkets.
This balanced approach supports small businesses while also meeting household needs.
Validity Period
One of the best features of the SG60 Vouchers is their long validity.
- Start date: July 2025
- End date: 31 December 2026
This 17-month period gives families the flexibility to plan their spending without any rush.
SG60 Commemorative Postcard
Along with the vouchers, every eligible citizen will also receive a commemorative SG60 postcard.
- Designed with iconic Singapore landmarks
- Includes a message from Prime Minister Lawrence Wong
- Comes with a QR code for easier voucher claims
This postcard adds a symbolic touch to the celebration.
Protecting Against Scams
The government has warned citizens to stay alert.
- All official voucher links will only start with:
https://voucher.redeem.gov.sg - No bank account or credit card details will ever be asked.
- Any suspicious messages should be reported immediately.
By being cautious, citizens can protect themselves from fraud.
The SG60 Vouchers 2025 are more than just financial aid—they are a symbol of national pride and unity. With clear eligibility rules, a smooth claim process, flexible usage, and long-lasting validity, the initiative reflects Singapore’s commitment to its people as the nation turns 60.
Families, seniors, and local businesses will all benefit, making this scheme both meaningful and practical.
