In Official Dispatch No. 1343/BHXH-TCKT in 2025, Vietnam Social Security (BHXH) has specifically guided the organization of monthly pension and social insurance allowance payments.
Accordingly, for 4 provinces including Dak Lak, Gia Lai, Khanh Hoa and Lam Dong, the payment of pensions and social insurance allowances has been implemented according to Official Dispatch No. 3145/BHXH-TCKT dated November 27, 2025 on the combined payment of 3 months of pensions and social insurance allowances, including December 2025, January and February 2026.
In addition, Resolution No. 380/NQ-CP of 2025 of the Government on solutions to overcome the consequences of natural disasters and restore production in localities in the Central region also clearly states the task of ensuring social security. According to this resolution, the Ministry of Finance is assigned to direct Vietnam Social Security to implement the combined payment of 3 months of pensions and social insurance allowances in the December 2025 payment period for the above 4 provinces in order to create conditions for policy beneficiaries to soon stabilize their lives and celebrate the 2026 Lunar New Year.
Thus, due to the impact of natural disasters, storms and floods and based on Resolution 380/NQ-CP in 2025, pensions for December 2025, January and February 2026 in 4 provinces of Dak Lak, Gia Lai, Khanh Hoa and Lam Dong have been paid in bulk.
For this reason, in 2026, the above provinces will not implement the combined payment of 2 months of pensions in February and March like some other localities.
According to the guidance of Vietnam Social Security, pensions and social insurance allowances for March 2026 in the above 4 provinces will be paid in the payment period of February 2026, ensuring the rights of beneficiaries in accordance with current regulations.
