Regarding the latest regulations on authorizing pension receipt, the social insurance agency said that the Law on Social Insurance No. 41/2025/QH15 will be implemented from July 1, 2026.
According to the provisions of point d, clause 2, Article 10 of the 2024 Law on Social Insurance, social insurance beneficiaries have the right to authorize in writing others to implement social insurance, in case of authorization to receive pensions, social insurance allowances and other regimes according to the provisions of this Law, the authorization document is valid for a maximum of 12 months from the date of establishment of the authorization.
In case of authorizing the receipt of pensions and social insurance allowances before the Law on Social Insurance No. 41/2024/QH15 takes effect, the power of attorney for others to receive pensions and social insurance allowances according to the provisions of Law No. 58/2014/QH13 can continue to be implemented until the end of June 30, 2026. Therefore, if the beneficiary still needs to authorize others to receive pensions and social insurance allowances, the power of attorney must be re-established.
To ensure the continuous maintenance of receiving pensions and social insurance allowances, beneficiaries need to implement as follows:
1. For beneficiaries, it is necessary to review the validity of the authorization document.
In case of not continuing to authorize others to receive - In case of receiving directly through the owner's official account: Prepare a written request (Form No. 14-HSB).
In case of continued authorization: Beneficiaries submit the Authorization Document (certified) according to the provisions of law attached to the Request Document (Form No. 14-HSB), which provides and fully declares information about the authorization such as: Term, content of the authorization; form of receiving benefits in cash or through personal accounts (clearly state account holder information, account number, bank); contact information of the authorized person;
2. Dossier receiving location: Post offices under the Central Post Offices, at the nearest grassroots social insurance office, at dossier receiving points under the Public Administration Service Center.
3. Note: Social insurance agencies, Public Administration Centers and Post Offices only work directly at headquarters or residential groups. We do not send strange links, do not request information through social networks or messaging applications. People should absolutely not access strange links to avoid being scammed and appropriating property.
4. Special cases: For cases of elderly beneficiaries, policy families, poor health, difficulty traveling... coordinate with the People's Committees of communes and wards to propose appropriate support plans, including direct support at home when necessary.
