The Ministry of Home Affairs said that gifts from the President to policy beneficiaries are given in cash. Giving gifts to people with meritorious services must be carefully combined with visiting and visiting members of agencies, unions, and organizations in the area to each beneficiary.
The Chairman of the Provincial and City People's Committees directs the Director of the Department of Home Affairs to coordinate with local agencies to organize propaganda and implement the President's gifts to policy beneficiaries promptly and fully before January 31, 2026, to prevent errors and negativity.
The budget for implementing the payment of gifts of the President in localities is guaranteed by the central budget and is allocated in the state budget expenditure estimate for 2026, supplementing and targeting the local budget to implement the Law on Preferential Treatment for People with Meritorious Services to the Revolution.
Funding for gifts for policy beneficiaries belonging to the army and people's police is guided by the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Public Security.
Decision No. 01/QD-CTN clearly states the giving of gifts to people with meritorious services to the revolution on the occasion of the Binh Ngo Lunar New Year 2026, including two gift levels: 600,000 VND and 300,000 VND.
