Decree No. 54/2026/ND-CP (effective February 9, 2026) amends and supplements Clause 2, Article 30 of Decree No. 100/2024/ND-CP on income conditions to enjoy social housing policies in the direction of transferring the authority to confirm from the commune-level People's Committee to the commune-level Police and supplementing the mechanism for declaration, commitment, and income post-inspection.
The new regulations also clearly define the request for confirmation as a document proving the beneficiaries of social housing policies. The income ceiling is still maintained according to the old regulations (single does not exceed 15 million VND/month; married, total income does not exceed 30 million VND/month). Specifically:
2. In case the subject specified in Clause 5, Article 76 of the Housing Law does not have a labor contract, it must ensure income conditions as prescribed in Clause 1 of this Article and be certified by the commune-level police agency where the citizen is permanently or temporarily residing or currently residing. Within 7 days from the date of receiving the request for confirmation, the commune-level police agency where the citizen is permanently or temporarily residing or currently residing at the time of the citizen's request, is responsible for confirming information including: Full name, middle name and name; Date, month, year of birth; gender; personal identification number; date, month, year of issuance of citizen identification card/identity card; place of permanent residence/temporary residence/current place of residence.
Citizens are responsible for declaring and committing to information on average monthly income. Commune-level police coordinate with relevant agencies in verifying and post-checking information on average monthly income of citizens for necessary cases.
The application form confirming the income conditions specified in this clause is also a document proving the beneficiaries of social housing support policies.
