Vietnam Social Security (BHXH) has just directed social insurance agencies in provinces and cities to proactively review and coordinate to support beneficiaries in re-establishing power of attorney documents or transferring them to receive via personal accounts, ensuring proper payment to the right people, in accordance with regulations, and without interrupting payment.
Vietnam Social Security recommends that people receiving monthly pensions and social insurance allowances should proactively check the validity of authorization documents, and not wait until close to June 30, 2026 to carry out procedures.
When it is necessary to re-establish a power of attorney or change the method of receipt, people should contact the social insurance agency, the payment post office, the public administrative service center or the local government where they reside for guidance through official channels.
The Social Insurance Agency also recommends that people not provide personal information through strange links, social networks or messaging applications of unknown origin.
Proactively reviewing and re-establishing authorization documents or transferring them to receive via personal accounts not only helps ensure the monthly payment benefits of beneficiaries, but also contributes to standardizing beneficiary data, preventing risks and improving service quality in implementing social insurance policies.
Along with guiding the re-establishment of authorization documents, local social insurance agencies encourage beneficiaries to switch to receiving pensions and social insurance allowances through personal accounts.
This is a safe, convenient, and transparent payment method, helping beneficiaries proactively receive monthly benefits, reducing dependence on the recipient, especially for cases that are being authorized due to difficult travel conditions.
