About S&CC Rebate

3          The S&CC rebate has been paid out annually by the Government since 2013. The S&CC rebate will be used to offset a household’s S&CC payment directly. For households who pay their S&CC through GIRO, their Town Councils will make the necessary arrangement with their banks. 

Whom the Public Can Contact for More Information

4          Residents with enquiries on their S&CC payment or account status can contact their respective Town Councils. Residents with enquiries on their household's S&CC rebate eligibility can call 1800-866-3078 (Mondays to Fridays, 8.30am to 5pm) or email sccrebates@mailbox.hdb.gov.sg.
