Each person will also receive in the mail an SG60 postcard designed by differently abled artists. The postcard contains a message from PM Wong and a QR code that can be scanned to claim the vouchers. Seniors will get to claim their vouchers first “in appreciation of their long-standing contributions to Singapore’s growth and success”, said the Community Development Council in a statement on July 1. This earlier rollout will also ensure that seniors can get dedicated help to claim their vouchers. The claim and spend process for SG60 Vouchers is the same as that of CDC vouchers – upon claiming the vouchers, the individual will receive an SMS link from “gov.sg”. Those who need help to claim their vouchers can get assistance at community centres and clubs, and at SG Digital Community Hubs. In the first two weeks of the launch until July 11, about 200 volunteers from public agencies and schools such as ITE College West, Nanyang Polytechnic, and Tampines Meridian JC will be stationed at selected CCs alongside CDC ambassadors to assist residents. Half of the vouchers – $400 for seniors and $300 for adults – can be used at participating supermarkets, and the other half at participating hawker stalls and heartland merchants. This covers some 23,000 heartland shops and hawkers, and eight supermarket chains that have over 400 outlets all over Singapore. They are Ang Mo Supermarket, Cold Storage, Giant Singapore, Hao Mart, FairPrice, Prime Supermarket, Sheng Siong and U Stars Supermarket. The SG60 vouchers will support Singaporeans in defraying the cost of living pressures, said Senior Minister of State for Trade and Industry, and Culture, Community and Youth, Ms Low Yen Ling told reporters on June 25, at a briefing on the voucher scheme. Around $1 billion worth of SG60 vouchers will also “go some way (towards) supporting our heartland shops and hawkers in increasing footfall and also sales”, she noted. People can find participating merchants at go.gov.sg/sg60voucher.
