SINGAPORE - Lower-income union members can apply for up to $120 in e-vouchers that will help them with their daily expenses, said NTUC.
The $1.2 million initiative, also known as the 2025 NTUC Care (U Stretch) Programme, is part of efforts to help working families amid growing cost pressures.
NTUC, in a statement on July 30, said: 'With $1.2 million in funding, the 2025 programme offers practical relief for union members, allowing them to stretch their dollar further in areas such as groceries, healthcare and daily meals'.
It added: 'With headline inflation dipping below 1 per cent, everyday expenses like food, utilities, petrol and rent remain uncomfortably high for many lower-income families,' NTUC added.
Union members can use their e-vouchers at participating merchants, including FairPrice supermarkets, Unity pharmacies and Kopitiam foodcourts.
The e-vouchers, which will be disbursed in denominations of $1, $2, $5 and $10, are redeemable under the RedeemSG digital voucher system. They will be valid for use until Dec 31, 2025.
To qualify for the programme, applicants must be NTUC members with at least six continuous months of membership as at their application date, with no outstanding membership payments due.
