According to Clause 1, Article 75 of the Law on Social Insurance 2024, pensioners can have their payments suspended in one of three specific cases. This is an important regulation to ensure the payment of pensions and monthly social insurance benefits to the right subjects, avoiding loss of insurance funds.
The pensioner will have his/her payment suspended if:
Illegal exit: Leaving Vietnam is not in accordance with regulations on entry and exit.
Declared missing by the Court: When there is a decision of the Court confirming the missing status.
Unable to verify beneficiary information: The social insurance agency cannot compare or confirm data as prescribed in Point c, Clause 2, Article 11 of the Law on Social Insurance 2024.
The law also clearly stipulates the termination of pension benefits if the recipient has died or was declared dead by the Court, refused to receive them in writing, or was concluded by a competent authority to receive them in violation of regulations.
Notably, if later the person illegally leaving the country has returned, the person is declared missing or has died, or the beneficiary's information has been verified, the pension payment will continue, including the pension for the period not yet received.
This new regulation helps strengthen management, ensure accuracy and transparency of the social insurance fund, while protecting the legitimate rights of employees when they are eligible for pensions.
