Hanoi Completes 97.55% of Pensioner Authorization for Pension Payments

Hanoi's Social Insurance Agency has completed supplementary authorization procedures for pension and social insurance benefits, as per the directive from the City People's Committee, to ensure uninterrupted payments. As of 8 AM on July 21, a total of 90,105 out of 92,364 eligible cases across the city had their authorization supplemented, achieving a completion rate of 97.55%. This progress reflects the intensive and close coordination efforts among relevant agencies. The social security system in Vietnam is a crucial policy area for the state, directly impacting the stability of citizens' lives. The pension system, in particular, is an indispensable element in supporting the livelihoods of the elderly. The swift completion of these authorization procedures is a significant step in establishing a prompt and reliable payment system for beneficiaries. Under Vietnam's single-party communist system, social welfare policies are driven by the strong leadership of the central government. Alongside economic growth, the expansion of the social security system is also a key factor in ensuring the legitimacy of the government, aiming to improve citizens' living standards and maintain overall social stability. This matter should be understood within that context.
