2.5 million people receive "express" pensions and benefits

(Dan Tri) - 63 provinces and cities have now paid pensions and monthly allowances through personal accounts to 2.5 million people.

The Vietnam Social Security sector has implemented many solutions to promote the payment of pensions and benefits by non-cash methods.

The development of non-cash payments in pension and allowance payments reached 74%. Since November, 63 provincial Social Insurance agencies have transferred monthly pension and allowance payments via personal accounts for 2.5 million/nearly 3.4 million beneficiaries nationwide.

It is estimated that by the end of 2024 in urban areas, about 80% of beneficiaries will receive social insurance and unemployment benefits through personal accounts, exceeding 20% ​​of the target assigned by the Prime Minister .

Many localities have achieved a high rate of pension and allowance recipients through personal accounts such as: Ha Nam (99.8%), Ha Tinh (99.5%), Hanoi (99%), Hai Phong (97.5%), Hung Yen (97%)...

Besides, Vietnam Social Security found that there are still some localities that have not made many changes in increasing the rate of beneficiaries receiving benefits through personal accounts such as Cao Bang, Thai Binh , Thanh Hoa.

Since then, this agency has issued a document directing the social insurance agencies of provinces with a low rate of people receiving monthly social insurance benefits through non-cash methods to seriously assess the causes and overcome them.

The Vietnam Social Security sector has proactively focused all resources, continuously reformed administrative procedures and reduced intermediaries, and built a roadmap to expand the implementation of the Social Security agency transferring monthly pension and allowance payments via personal accounts to beneficiaries.
