How to claim your CDC vouchers
From June 25, Singaporean households will receive a notification letter via mail on how to claim and spend their $300 CDC vouchers for June 2024. This process remains similar to previous tranches where only one household member is required to visit go.gov.sg/cdcv and log in with their Singpass to claim the digital vouchers on behalf of the household.
Upon claiming, the applicant will receive an SMS with their unique voucher link from “RedeemSG” (before July 1) or “gov.sg” (from July 1 onwards) to the applicant’s registered mobile number, which can then be shared with other household members. The SMS links for CDC vouchers 2024 (January) and CDC vouchers 2024 (June) are different, and both sets of vouchers are valid until December 31, 2024.
More information on the CDC voucher scheme 2024 (June) is available at https://vouchers.cdc.gov.sg/. -

If software engineer Wilson Quah had a choice, he would rather work from home and look after his children.
The 37-year-old and his wife, 34, are waiting to move into their Build-To-Order flat, whose completion was delayed till end-2022 due to the pandemic.
Like him, his wife, who is in human resources, is busy with her career. But they are keen to start a family if they can secure more flexible work arrangements or family friendly policies at work, which would allow them to, say, fetch their children to and from school.
“I prefer not to outsource my kid’s care to a maid or childcare centre too much, and prefer more family time,” said Mr Quah, who is pursuing a master’s degree while balancing his job at a start-up.
Both currently work from home two days a week because of the pandemic.
Mr Quah said he would also be more inclined to start a family if the costs associated with raising a child are lower. However, he is under no pressure to have children soon.
