National Post Office will pay pensions in lump sum for the first two months of 2023

To facilitate pensioners and monthly Social Insurance (SI) beneficiaries, on the occasion of the Lunar New Year 2023, Vietnam Post Corporation will make a lump sum payment of the regime for both January and February 2023 in the first payment period of the new year.

The payment of pensions and social insurance benefits for the first two months of 2023 will be implemented by provincial and municipal post offices nationwide from January 4, 2023 to January 19, 2023, excluding holidays and Tet.

This time, the payment for pension and social insurance beneficiaries will continue to apply both forms of receiving money via ATM card and receiving cash at the Post Office. Specifically, the Post Office will pay money via ATM account as soon as it receives the list and money from the Social Insurance, no later than the next day. The payment time at the points remains unchanged, the only difference is that the beneficiary will receive the regime money for both months in one payment period.

For those who come directly to the Post Office to receive pensions and social insurance benefits, Vietnam Post still applies the same regulations as previous payment periods, accordingly, the subjects need to bring their payment cards and authorization papers (in case the recipient is authorized by the beneficiary to receive on their behalf).

Vietnam Post representative also said that local post offices will proactively coordinate with the Social Insurance of provinces and cities to develop a plan to pay pensions and social insurance benefits for January and February 2023 at the same payment period as January 2023, ensuring compliance with the instructions of the Provincial and Municipal People's Committees as well as the requirements of the Social Insurance agencies and the guidance of the Corporation.

In localities, before the payment period, the Post Office will proactively implement many forms of communication and notify beneficiaries of changes in the payment period regarding payment location and time (if any).

Vietnam Post has prepared conditions for pension payments in January 2023 to take place safely and smoothly, ensuring the prevention of Covid-19 and infectious diseases throughout the payment process.

“With experience in pension payments and social security policies in the past, we are committed to paying correctly, fully, safely and promptly to pensioners and social insurance beneficiaries,” affirmed a representative of Vietnam Post.
