DIGITAL VOUCHERS
While the CDC Vouchers Scheme 2023 will retain its digital format, help will be rendered to “digitally less-savvy” citizens, said CDC and PA.
Queue priority will be given to seniors and people with disabilities at the community centres or clubs, the agencies added.
“SG Digital Office Digital Ambassadors will be deployed at the SG Digital Community Hubs to provide assistance for residents who need help to claim their digital vouchers. Residents without smartphones or who need to set up their Singpass or reset their Singpass password will also be assisted at the CCs," they said.
Additionally, a group of Silver Infocomm Wellness Ambassadors, volunteers from youth networks and student volunteers will be stationed at selected CCs for the first two weeks of the launch.
For those using the physical vouchers, the ones for supermarkets come with a trolley icon at the bottom right of the vouchers.
