Implementing Resolution No. 418/NQ-CP of the Government on giving gifts from the Party and State on the occasion of welcoming the 14th National Congress of the Party and the Binh Ngo Lunar New Year 2026 to people with meritorious services to the revolution, social protection beneficiaries (BTXH), social pensioners (HTXH) and other vulnerable groups, according to preliminary reports from 28/34 localities (Ha Tinh, Dong Nai, Ho Chi Minh City, Tay Ninh, Dong Thap, Vinh Long have not reported), by the end of December 31, 2025, over 5.88 million people have received gifts - according to VNA.
Among them, people with meritorious services to the revolution are over 1.55 million people, and social protection and social security beneficiaries are over 4.33 million people.
Among those who received gifts, receiving via bank transfer was 2.36 million, accounting for 40.26% (through social security accounts on VNeID was 98,940 people, accounting for 1.68%; through accounts receiving allowances and subsidies was 2.27 million people, accounting for 38.58%); receiving directly in cash was more than 3.5 million people, accounting for 59.74%.
The gift-giving was deployed synchronously and promptly in the joyful atmosphere of welcoming the 14th National Congress of the Party and the Binh Ngo Lunar New Year 2026 to show gratitude and express the deep concern of the Party and State for people with meritorious services to the revolution, and provide timely assistance to social protection and social assistance beneficiaries.
However, besides the achieved results, the actual implementation still faces some difficulties and obstacles. The implementation of giving gifts through social security accounts on VNeID is an important step forward; However, because the database system managed by the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of Health has not fully integrated the list of people with meritorious services to the revolution, social protection and social security beneficiaries into the National Population Database, giving gifts through social security accounts on VNeID is still low.
The gift-giving time is not long, while the number of people receiving gifts is large, and many subjects overlap (one person belongs to 2 or more subjects, identifying the subjects as worshipers, people with meritorious services to the revolution...) so it is necessary to review, leading to great pressure on grassroots officials when listing and organizing gift-giving.
According to Resolution 418/NQ-CP, the subjects receiving gifts from the Party and State include people with meritorious services to the revolution as prescribed in the Ordinance on Preferential Treatment for People with Meritorious Services to the Revolution; social protection beneficiaries as prescribed in Decree No. 20/2021/ND-CP of the Government; social protection beneficiaries as prescribed in Decree No. 176/2025/ND-CP; including orphans, homeless children or in orphanages. The amount of gifts in cash is 400,000 VND/person.
Based on the Resolution, the Prime Minister has issued Decision No. 2814/QD-TTg supplementing the target from the central budget for 34 provinces and cities of more than 2,513.9 billion VND to implement gift giving to people with meritorious services to the revolution (over 1.65 million people), social protection and social security beneficiaries (over 4.63 million people).
To organize the deployment of gifts to beneficiaries to be implemented synchronously and uniformly, ensuring simplicity, convenience, timeliness, right beneficiaries, and compliance with regulations, the Ministry of Finance has issued documents guiding localities on accounting, gift-giving funds and guiding the State Treasury of the region to deploy gifts of the Party and State.
The Ministry of Home Affairs has issued documents guiding localities on gift subjects according to Resolution No. 418/NQ-CP.
