On the Government Portal, Ms. L.T. V. A (HCMC) wondered:
She has a need to buy social housing, so she needs to make a confirmation of average income in the last 12 months. She just transferred jobs from December 2025, so when submitting a 12-month average income confirmation application, both the old and new agencies did not verify it for her.
Ms. V.A asked, in her case, what should be done? Who will verify her income? She has a labor contract and bank statements proving that income transferred to the account is full.
The Ministry of Construction answers this question as follows:
Article 30 of Decree No. 100/2024/ND-CP dated July 26, 2024 of the Government detailing a number of articles of the Housing Law on development and management of social housing stipulates income conditions to enjoy social housing support policies (amended and supplemented by Decree No. 54/2026/ND-CP dated February 9, 2026 and Decree No. 136/2026/ND-CP dated April 7, 2026) as follows:
