Accordingly, more than 3.3 million beneficiaries nationwide will receive monthly pensions and social insurance benefits from April 25 to April 28, earlier than usual. The early payment of social security policies creates conditions for beneficiaries to celebrate the 50th anniversary of National Reunification Day and stimulate consumption in accordance with the direction of the Prime Minister .

Specifically, Vietnam Social Security requires regional and provincial Social Security agencies to focus on paying pensions and social insurance benefits for the May 2025 payment period before the April 30 and May 1 holidays, ensuring full, timely, in accordance with regulations, and to the right beneficiaries. Specifically:

Regarding cash payments, coordinate with the post office to review and develop a payment schedule, ensuring payment to pensioners and social insurance beneficiaries for May 2025 from April 25 to April 28. At the same time, arrange and organize working departments appropriately to make a list and transfer funds to the post office in a timely manner, to be completed before April 24.

Regarding payments via personal accounts, it is necessary to proactively create, control, and approve electronic payment orders, to be completed no later than April 24. Provincial social insurance agencies that have not yet operated under the regional model will make payments on April 25; regional social insurance agencies will make payments on April 26.

Timely report the results of the implementation of pension and social insurance allowance payment for May 2025 to Vietnam Social Security before April 29.

In addition, Vietnam Social Security also requested Vietnam Post Corporation to coordinate in fully preparing payment conditions and notify beneficiaries about the pension and allowance payment schedule for the May 2025 payment period.

Thus, the payment including both cash and personal account beneficiaries of the May 2025 payment period will be earlier than the monthly schedule and completed before the April 30 and May 1 holidays.

Previously, in order to create conditions for people and workers to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification Day (April 30, 1975 - April 30, 2025), while implementing social security policies and stimulating consumption, the Prime Minister issued an Official Dispatch directing the Ministry of Finance and Vietnam Social Security to pay early pensions and allowances for May between April 25 and 28.

Currently, the entire Vietnam Social Security system pays monthly pensions and social insurance benefits to more than 3.3 million beneficiaries (of which, the Social Security agency directly pays through personal accounts to 70% of beneficiaries nationwide). The rest of the beneficiaries can receive money in other flexible payment methods such as: Cash at payment points or payment at home (for cases of old age, loneliness, illness, and infirmity that are unable to come to receive at the payment point).
