Ms. Duong Thi Minh Chau - Head of the Department of Propaganda and Support for Social Insurance participants (SI) of Hanoi City said that Vietnam Social Insurance has directed the HI agency to directly transfer monthly pension and social insurance allowance payments via personal accounts to beneficiaries on the 2nd of each month.
If the 2nd falls on a holiday, the payment schedule will start from the first working day after the holiday. For those who receive pensions and social insurance benefits in cash, the Social Insurance agency will coordinate with the Post Office to pay after the payment date via personal accounts.
Regarding the activity of paying pensions and social insurance benefits to beneficiaries in the capital in October 2025, Ms. Duong Thi Minh Chau said: "Hanoi Social Insurance Agency will pay beneficiaries through personal accounts on October 2 (Thursday), the social insurance agency will coordinate with the Post Office to develop a timely payment plan for beneficiaries after October 3".
According to Hanoi Social Insurance, the total number of people receiving pensions and social insurance benefits in October 2025 is 602,025 cases with a total amount of more than VND 4,183 billion. Of which, the number of people receiving through personal accounts is 598,996 people (999,49%); with an amount of more than VND 4,140 billion; the number of people receiving in cash at payment points is 3,029 people (0.51%) with an amount of more than VND 42.2 billion.

For the payment to go smoothly, ensuring the smooth rights of beneficiaries when operating two-level local governments and in accordance with the provisions of the Social Insurance Law 2024, Hanoi Social Insurance recommends that beneficiaries pay attention to some changes in the authorization of receiving pensions and social insurance benefits as follows:
In case of authorization to receive pensions, social insurance benefits and other regimes, the authorization document is valid for a maximum of 12 months from the date of authorization. The authorization document must be certified according to the provisions of the law on certification.
For the authorization granted under the provisions of Law No. 58/2014/QH13 ( social insurance law 2014), the implementation period is until June 30, 2026.
After July 1, 2026, beneficiaries must re-establish authorization or carry out certification procedures in a timely manner so as not to interrupt the receipt of monthly pension and social insurance benefits.
Every year, beneficiaries of social insurance regimes through personal accounts opened at banks are responsible for coordinating with social insurance agencies or service organizations authorized by social insurance agencies to verify information that is eligible for social insurance regimes according to regulations.
